    Well, if you’re looking for an actual answer… I couldn’t get audio working on Linux on my laptop. I had to switch back in order to watch movies.

      Was more speaking in hyperbole. I can understand why when someone tells me their personal story. I could tell you is probably a driver issue, or I’d you meant Bluetooth sometimes mediatek chips don’t play well with Linux. But I’m sure part of the reason you don’t want to switch because you don’t want someone like me droning over something you don’t fully understand yet or really care about. You just want to watch your movie and I’m with you on that. Just having gone through learning linux it feels much easier to fix a Bluetooth issue than it is to deal with your computer potentially getting bricked once a year.

        Heh, it’s probably on me. I was just test driving it. I have no doubt I could have figured it out if I had spent more time.

        It was just the HDMI audio from a standard Intel 14th gen processor. Didn’t feel it was anything too out of the ordinary, but have tried about 6 releases over 3 distros and not a one has worked.

          Nah theres a lot of debugging you gotta do sometimes, wouldnt say its you. I have a little beelink that has issues that none of my other PCs have and it’s just not important enough for me to care to address. Just how it is and no shame in it.
