Linux has out of the box support for the SBC-XQ hack, which is pretty much the highest quality, most widely supported (even by Apple hardware) low-latency-ish way to drive BT audio. Works exceptionally well. And switching profiles works better than under Windows.
fwiw the last time I had wireless issues was with an exceedingly cheap 2013 laptop built from tablet hardware. That required an out of tree driver for a few years.
I had a Lenovo Yoga a little bit ago and it took 3 years iirc for the kernel module for the wifi/bt chip to be merged.
Yeah, I hate it when vendors are slow to upstream their drivers too.
