Woah! That's so cool dude! How are the Bluetooth and Nvidia drivers on that... ;)

I'm using bazzite, so I've had absolutely no issues (note that I have an Intel iGPU bc shitty laptop)

Both are great! I'm using a bluetooth 8BitDo controller with a bluetooth wireless keyboard to game on my 1080TI :)

I have a dumb BT5 dongle that doesn't work annoyingly.

I always check reviews for things like BT adapters to see if people mention it working OTB on Linux. Usually if the manufacturer says compatible with Linux it'll work right away, but some want drivers installed.

I get what you're trying to do here but the thing is, bluetooth and nvidia are terrible on every platform tbh... At the very least, nvidia laptops on Windows for my friends haven't been as stable as my AMD laptop on Arch has been for me. I hear nvidia on desktop is solid, so that might be the issue here though. Which also reminds me, nvidia on Linux isn't really an issue anymore, they work as well as their windows counterpart basically and nearly every distro makes them really easy to install.

And Bluetooth on Linux right now is just as terrible as on Windows, which is to say, it works pretty well.

It was a joke. Just like "If a tree falls in the forest, and you're watching a video of it on Linux, does it make a sound?"

I dislike Bluetooth anyway, it's a shit protocol.

I did get the joke, that's why I started the way i did
