IMO, this is a demonstration of the problem. You're blaming the poster/their equipment. Rather than any real solution to the problem the defacto answer is "well, it works for me so what's wrong with you?"
I've never heard this kind of toxicity from other communities (like the apple/Windows crowds). Often you'll get useful answers indicating what to check or pointing to another resource. There's always the chance that the hardware is busted, but let's face it, in the modern era, that's far less likely to happen now than it was even 10 years ago.
Immediately blaming the user for their issue isn't going to solve the problem, nor does it endear any average user to the Linux community or the Linux OS. This attitude is not going to help adoption even if the posters concerns are invalidated by newer/better drivers/software, and all they need to do is update, and/or try again.
This kind of statement actively harms Linux adoption.
Sorry I meant to say I dont even remember how many years ago I saw anyone with Bluetooth problems. Look how you conveniently ignore the fact Kde and Gome dont use the terminal contrary to what you had stated. Your shit is all fucked up.
Bitch please.
Just try to install a program that isn't in the repo without dropping to the CLI.
I dare you, I double dare you.
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/03/ubuntu-2404-bluetooth-connect-fix Bluetooth issues are still a present problem in Ubuntu 24.04LTS, which appear to be fixed in 24.10. If I want to restart the Bluetooth stack I have to do that in the terminal, on Windows, you go to the services window and restart it from there (not that I've ever had a Bluetooth issue on Windows). Just because you don't experience it does not mean it does not exist, you appear to be one of those toxic it works on my machine people.
There is your problem. I know I am being snarky but i have had several discussions over the last few days about how Ubuntu has always been a problem for me since it came out. It is kind of nice to see another example.
As an aside: On my old windows laptop, the wireless was crippled to half speed/ half features because it was not the "pro" wireless version. Turns out that in Linux is ran flawlessly and fast because it wasn't being crippled artificially by the drivers. I have seen a lot of that over the years, including Bluetooth not working correctly in windows. There is a wide variety of hardware, and a wide variety of support of that hardware in both windows and linux communities.
