There's a lot of things #ArchLinux gets right, but a friendly configuration of #bluetooth is not one of them.

I did invest a lot of time connecting an USB speaker (#SoundCore2) , and an equal amount of time enabling the computer to send the sound through them. Why 2 steps? I'm afraid I can't answer that in a single post.

It's probably relevant to mention I've working (professionally) with #linux machines for about 20+ years now.

This is the only resource you need, BTW: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth

Meine #SoundCore2 Bluetooth Box von Anker verabschiedet sich so langsam. Nicht nur, dass der Akku echt schlecht geworden ist. Auch der Power Button geht teilweise gar nicht mehr. Was, bis maximal 50€, könnt ihr denn empfehlen?

@stop How about this, for $40?

#Anker have some amazing cables and power adapters, but apparently they make a #Soundcore2 speaker too.

Too big? 6.5 x 2.2 x 1.8”; 0.8 lbs; and the dreaded micro-USB. 🤨
