- browningstreet 9mo agoWell I won't be buying Dell again.
- FeistySkink 9mo agoHow so? Bluetooth has been working out of the box (no tinkering) for me under Linux for the past ten years now across multiple devices. Including stuff like APT-X and LDAC. All with proper OS integration (I use Gnome). What's the story on Windows?
- vladvasiliu 9mo agoSame here. The story for windows, IME, is that my work Logitech BT keyboard works fine, but neither my sony nor shure headphones work at all. Windows says connected, but then disconnects right away. On the same PC which dual-boots linux, they both work fine, with LDAC for the sony and apt-x hd for the shure. At work, we have BT Jabra headsets. I specifically asked for a corded version, I hate the latency for calls. My windows-using colleagues, for some reason, love wearing a wireless headset and talking through the laptop microphone.
- shmeeed 9mo agoBT can be a shitshow on any OS. Some combinations work flawlessly, some don't. It's not even the OS' fault IMHO, but the device manufacturers'. My Bose headphones have the same problems under both Windows 10 and Linux.
