I just installed it this summer using ArchInstall. I’m on Pipewire as well.

I’m looking to use the microphone too.

It works great but only with the wireless dongle. It works poorly with Bluetooth, and doesn’t work at all with direct USB connection. My original question was hoping to see if I could quickly resolve direct USB connection with the headphones since that seems like it may be the easier to get a great connection.

I’m also on ArchLinux!

I use a Navidrome server and ProjectBlue app on my Android. I haven’t figured out how to download music for offline use by using my ProjectBlue app though.

What’s a better alternative for a CPU

I’ve been loving Qobuz so far. Migrating our family was easier than I thought.

Plus it comes with a free music migration tool.

Qobuz distributed royalties due to labels and publishers corresponding to an average amount of US$0.01873 per stream

This means that Qobuz generates on average five times more revenue per user than the market average,

How much does Spotify pay per stream?

Spotify pays artists between $0.003 - $0.005 per stream on average.

That works out as an approx revenue split of 70/30 - so that’s 70% to the artist/rights holders and 30% to Spotify.

Linux has gotten incredibly better for gaming. Now Bluetooth controllers connect just as easy as Windows, and Steam has Proton built in so that when you run a Windows only game, Steam will automatically install the appropriate Proton and Wine software – just make sure to turn on compatibility mode in the Steam launcher settings. Every game I ran so far runs fine on Linux.

It couldn’t be a better time to switch to Linux.
