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.

For headphones specifically, you need to keep an audio stream open at all times because apple does the same. As soon as there's just one stream, the headphones will switch to that.
Since you can't turn off apple's bullshit, you will need to connect them to your PC first and have a constant audio stream. As soon as it pauses, apple takes over.
Not sure what's the best way to do that, but having an audio file on loop with extremely low volume will do it.
Hello,
I might not have been clear, sorry. Actually, it is when I activate the headphone, it get immediately connected to the iPhone 20m away while my headphone is litterally on my linux laptop. It does get connected few seconds later but won't be able to play on it. So it is not really a matter of leaving a stream open.
Also, the QC 45 is stated multi-point .
thanks all
So, Apple breaks all multipoint devices unless all connection are from Apple devices? Weird.
I settled on different headphones for pc/linux and phones. I can't afford to have an important call interrupted by something less important from an other device. Also switching from phone to linux takes to much fiddling.
It would breaks if it is the first to connect, usually it is. it messes also with smart tv.
Regarding phone call, I can't tell as my iphone is my phone actually :) But i don't think it would happen with Android, we would have heard about it, even though it uses same bluetooth stack than Linux.
Though, I would like to thank @Oisteink@feddit.nl , indeed, if you disable bluetooth from the Settings (not the drop down panel), it will remain disabled, stupid UX.
note: that I tested with sony and sennheiser bt headsets too.
