Linux not having proper bluetooth headset support is frustrating.
@mauve this seems like the kind of general statement that's probably only true in very specific cases to be an open invitation to reply guys and gals. :P
@mariusor Mostly thinking along the issues in this thread. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/work_items/776
@mauve that thread seems **very** specific for such a general statement. :D Also, since 2019 I think all distros have migrated from pulseaudio to pipewire. (PS. sorry :goose_scream: )
@mariusor I'm not sure what information I'm supposed to get out of your reply. These are all things I am aware of.
@mariusor Are you just saying things because you enjoy typing or do you have a specific goal?
@mauve I guess my goal would be how you get from "this are things I am aware of" to "linux does not have proper bluetooth headset support"... but I can live without that knowledge I didn't/don't mean to aggravate you and further.
I was hoping my initial slightly humorous reply would defuse the reply-guysm situation that you invited. But if not, cheers, I'll stop
@mariusor Oh I see, I didn't realize you were asking a specific question. I still think my statement stands becuase although it's a lot better now than it was years ago, it's still not as good as the proprietary OSs out of the box and seems to have had issues for a while. E.g. the person in the thread I linked got tired of trying to advocate for their fixes to be merged and started saying that if people want a bt headset they should avoid using Linux.
@mariusor I guess a more satisfying post would have been "I am frustrated that recent linux distros I've used have poor audio quality when I use a bluetooth headset's microphone compared to proprietary OSs with the same headset". 🤪
