YMMV, I've not had good luck with Bluetooth on any OS
- gchamonlive 7mo agoIt's absolutely fine on Linux for all the devices I have so I'm happy with it. I daily drive arch (https://github.com/gchamon/archie https://github.com/gchamon/archie), bazzite which is fedora, and the notebook my current employer provides which comes with Ubuntu pre-installed.
- embedding-shape 7mo agoFun how those things go, I've only ever had troubles with Bluetooth on Apple hardware (both phones and laptops), meanwhile I never had problems with Bluetooth on either Windows or Linux, both desktops and laptops, with controllers, headphones and keyboards. YMMV indeed :)
- nijave 7mo agoOn Apple, I've had interference problems but the daemon seems stable. On Linux, the daemon locks up and crashes sometimes but no interference issues (so maybe my chip is quirky or not well supported)
- Pwntastic 7mo agoi run endeavour (arch) and have a handful of things using bluetooth without any issues. i even have my airpods paired and use them constantly with no problems
- foresto 7mo agoYour computer's bluetooth module could be the source of the trouble. Some people have found that using a different dongle fixed their wireless controller problems.
- nijave 7mo agoThat makes sense. I've had the most issues on my old Dell XPS and a dongle would be annoying on such a small laptop
- foresto 7mo agoAre you sure? Bluetooth dongles these days can be smaller than most low-profile USB drives, barely protruding from a laptop's exterior. It might be worth browsing the available models.
