You’re individual experience isn’t universal.

Running Fedora 34 on X1 Carbon. Bliss.

Linux is community driven, if somethings not working, try fix it?

His point is that it's not ready for the average person. I would not expect the average person to switch from something that works out of the box to having to fiddle with trying to find an answer just to get where they were before.

OP is 100% correct. I also love how you basically say "well it works for me" which is a common answer I seem to hear from so many Linux users. It's like customer support responding "well, I can't recreate the issue."

I can honestly say that in recent times (last 2 years) I never had to fiddle with Fedora to get it working.

It just works.

Replying here to say I agree with the other posters.

I'm not a developer. I need a system to do my work. I need to do video calls using a bluetooth headset with a microphone.

I'm not in a position to spend time "fixing". But I am in a position to pay. But Linux seems to have few options available to pay for polish. I would pay $500 this instant to have the ease of connectivity that Apple has on this Linux machine.

Some days I spend 5 hours on the phone with my Bluetooth headset, I have no issues with it at all.

Glad to hear it, I hope this experience becomes the standard for Linux.

That works if you're 20 and studying at university. After wasting over half my awake day at work, the last thing I have energy left for is dealing with random bullshit and tracing down bugs.

Also, most people don’t have great time management skills (myself included) so never really have any slack time.
