- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

The blushing
Proprieatary software has become completely unusable, programs that would have been labeled adware and spyware are now being pushed by corporations as the norm. I use open source software in my workflow, but I am still hobbled by Microsoft's awful OS.

I couldn't have said it better
And here I am adopting abandoned ports on FreeBSD and packaging applications that I didnβt even write as a hobby.
Based.
I got multiple friends who use Linux at work and Windows at home.
Meanwhile the two of us that use Linux at home never worked in anything tech related, we're just massive nerds apparently.
For me it was about time. Once I had kids, I no longer had time to dick around with an OS. It has to just work.
But that's why I switched back to Linux earlier this year. Now my games and hardware and apps all just work.
I just spent three hours at home trying unsuccessfully to get a Bluetooth keyboard to play nice with Mint. I feel worse than when I was at work lol.
Have you checked if there is any record of your Bluetooth card on the Linux hardware database?
That might give you an indication of how well it's supported
Haha I appreciate the concern but I physically cannot bring myself to spend any more of my time on a $20 keyboard lol
Bluetooth is a failed abortion of a protocol.
Skill issue. My bluetooth stuff just works.
