That's just swapping one problem for another, and I say that as a Linux user
Swapping out a large listmof unsolvable problems, bugs, and limitations for a smaller lost of very doable problems.
And I say that as a 24 years Linux user who seriously only sees shit getting worse on the other side every time
The average user wants their computer to just work, they want to open up their new Bluetooth headphones that their son/ grandson bought them and it connects as expected. Your definition of problem and what is solvable is very different to theirs
The average beginner distro handles bluetooth headphones just fine. On Windows they do not always work reliably
They do not always work reliably anywhere.
Anecdotally, I disagree with that. I've never had an issue with Bluetooth on windows. I struggle a lot with Bluetooth on ubuntu
I've had issues with Bluetooth on Windows 11, but it worked perfectly on Linux Mint. On Windows 11 the Bluetooth card would simply disappear after I put the laptop to sleep, only appearing at random after multiple restarts. It did work in Windows 10 just fine, however. Similarly, I had to change my WiFi card just for Windows 11. It kept disconnecting from network. Again, something that did not affect Windows 10 or Linux Mint.
If I didn't have unused WiFi card laying around, I definitely wouldn't be buying another one just for Windows.
