I use my Bluetooth headset on discord, slack, and google meet without any problems on Pop and Bazzite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Funny enough - I have less problems with audio on Pop/Bazzite than my Mac (where my headset mic can be muted by flipping up - but is unable to unmute without power cycling the headset) or Windows (which cannot ever remember which device I want to use for which app).

I held off on switching to desktop Linux because of horror stories on places like HN. But it’s seriously not been my lived experience. I can only think that maybe these were problems 5+ years ago - or it’s folks that went with super customized Arch installs or something.

TBF, it's not as bad as it used to be.. the main issue is that unless I manually switch to mono mode before going into meetings, then back to stereo to listen to music after, I tend to have issues.

I mostly just use my webcam's mic, despite my headphones being better so I can leave my headset on bluetooth/stereo.
