I assure you it works fine. I own bluetooth keyboards, speakers… and connect via wifi. It's not a general linux or thinkpad issue.

You plugged a chinese knockoff… there, found your problem.

Unfortunately most hardware is not done in a way to work properly when there's a bad device connected to the same BUS.

The bluetooth problem predated the installation of the replacement keyboard.

Anyway, I'm not going to fight for this, I'm just saying my "Linux desktop for non-technical users" experience in 2023-2025 timeframe was such that I don't know that I would do it again, and certainly would be extremely hesitant to recommend it to a household where no one is standing by with the willingness and aptitude required to tackle a boot-to-grub situation.

You've ever tried installing windows 10?
