From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's your latest disfavor?
Mine is the priorisation of devices. If someone turns on the flatshare BT box and I'm listening to Death Metal over my headphones, suddenly everyone except me is listening to Death Metal.
Not to mention bluez aggressive conne ts to devices. It would be nice if my laptop in the other room didn't interrupt my phones connection to my earbuds.
Then again, we also have wired for a reason. Hate all you want but it works and is predicable
It's been a while (few years actually) since I even tried, but bluetooth headsets just won't play nicely. You either get the audio quality from a bottom of the barrel or somewhat decent quality without microphone. And the different protocol/whatever isn't selected automatically, headset randomly disconnects and nothing really works like it does with my cellphone/windows-machines.
YMMV, but that's been my experience with my headsets. I've understood that there's some propietary stuff going on with audio codecs, but it's just so frustrating.
Just being.. crappy?
Not connecting automatically. Bad quality. Some glitchy artifacts. It gets horrible The only work around I've found is stupid but running
apt reinstall --purge bluez gnome-bluetoothand it works fine. So annoying but I have to do this almost every day.Reinstalling should change nothing. If its getting corrupted check your drive and Ram.
I don't know why this works, but if im having issues, i do this, and it fixes all of them across the board. Even just restarting the service is not as effective as this. That some times works, sometimes doesn't.
I'm confident its not a drive or ram issue. Its a blue tooth issue/ audio. But I also can't explain why it is so consistent.
That really sounds like shitty firmware at one end or the other
Have you checked the logs?
Yep. Nothing sus. I also don't have the time to do a deep dive. I need to work. It might be this chip. It might be my bluetooth headset (but I have issues with my mouse and keyboard too). I don't have time to figure it out, so I just keep this on a copy paste ready terminal and if I have issue, I run the command and I'm good to go.
