Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
I had issues with Bluetooth on Windows. Been having none since I switched to Debian + KDE.
I had a ton of issues on Arch/Artix, but Debian + KDE works as expected OOTB in terms of functionality and UI.
It depends HEAVILY on your chipset. I have a costco HP i bought as a backup that works seamlessly. Literally seamless at all times. Its a commodity piece of hardware. Millions of these things made.
My bleeding edge, new machine, cuts out, audio stutters, sleep issues; you name it: looking at you mediatek.
If you’re technical, you might be able to change out the chipset as WiFi+Bluetooth is usually on an M.2 2230 E-key board on most machines. But agreed that it is very annoying and this isn’t feasible for most regular users
