From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

fucking hate bluetooth ngl, it's a horrendous standard that doesn't do what I want it to do and even when it can it fails horribly and is unbearably unreliable
how did you install the nvidia drivers btw? I thought in mint there was a "driver manager" thingy that installed it for you with one click
Bluetooth works great in Android for me though... once the devices have been paired, they connect the moment they are available and it just works.
However, for some reason on PC it's often quirky (Windows or Linux). My PC bluetooth works through a dongle so I wonder if an integrated card would do better.
Also, most devices will not keep more than 1 pairing, so it will be annoying if you plan to be jumping around between computers. But that's not the fault of the protocol, in theory remembering multiple pairings can be supported if the devices wanted to implement that.
Is it an USB dongle?
If so, make sure to add a short USB-A to USB-A cable between your PC and the dongle. Interference is a serious issue on USB 2.4 GHz wireless dongles when directly connected to a mainboard.
It was that easy this time around, because I'm dumb. The last time I never said I needed to sign them in the installer so I had to do it manually
oh are you using secure boot? my condolences
You use popos like a pro 👑
