How did Bluetooth turn out for ya? I installed the OS on a ROG Zephyrus (Windows gaming laptop) and everything works beautifully (even WiFi) except for Bluetooth. It simply stopped working after a while.

Bluetooth works fine for me on both System76 Thelio and my Lenovo Legion laptop.
Well, except for the crappy BT audio, but IIUC that problem isn't listed to Pop_OS.

Depends on if they've updated to PipeWire or not. PulseAudio/ALSA are terrible at negotiating Bluetooth connections, but PipeWire has been rock-solid in my experience. Since Pop is still on x11 they probably haven't updated yet, but it's likely coming soon.
Pop has pipewire since 22.04 IIRC.
Ah, very nice. Still a tad fresh, people who haven't updated to the latest LTS release might have missed it. That being said, it's totally the right call going forward. Very cool to see them using it with Xorg!
