Trying to figure out why a pair of Bluetooth headphones was suddenly, randomly, no longer pairing correctly to a laptop running under Windows 11, and I am genuinely surprised how bad the experience is.
- Useless error messages. Multiple interfaces to the same operation, unclear why to use one over the other. Different visuals for different config dialogs. Arcane dialogs and squirrelled away options.
- This for a device that was clearly built to work on Windows.
- The trope that Linux has a bad user experience vs Windows does not seem accurate.
