You are definitely not the only one was has the issue about the automatic switching to bluetooth headset. One workaround is to run `pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect` (not persisted across reboot) as recommended on the arch wiki:

meta comment: I find it's almost always worth checking the arch linux wiki for any software you're using (either as a guide or if you're having issues).

It's one of the best resources out there, though obviously if you're not running arch you'll need to tweak things from the suggestions.

Has switching to a bluetooth headset on Linux ever been non-buggy? I mean I imagine for specific hardware-software combinations it works robustly, but I feel like this is a periodic issue I have to deal with on Linux machines

For me on PulseAudio it consistently switched it as expected, however, it the selected audio profile was quite random.
