Ubuntu: Except for Bluetooth and audio, and sometimes it forgets there's a wired Ethernet port I have to down/up the interface with `ip`.

BT is a trainwreck.



Can confirm, my god how terrible BT support can be.

So much for things working on older laptops, my 6ish years old Asus as some weird Intel BT chip that has completely broken drivers on Ubuntu. Not as in that they can't be built or installed, but the damn thing keeps fucking disconnecting and reconnecting every few seconds. It literally would've been better if they hadn't bothered.

But also like in general, at least anyone making any new protocol or standard can rest easy knowing that they cannot possibly fuck up worse than IEEE making the bluetooth spec.
