Yeah, I tried that. Didn’t make a difference, unfortunately.

Yeah, at this rate I’m probably just going to get a USB wireless adapter since it’s not playing nice with my bluetooth

It has bluetooth. I’m able to connect it to bluetooth on Windows 10 with the same computer and was able to connect it to a Fedora 39 KDE laptop via bluetooth, as well.

I suspect the issue is the Linux driver for the MediaTek MT7921K or the bluetooth configuration on my arch linux system needs to be adjusted somehow

A few years ago, before Google introduced YouTube music, they had the Google Play Music app that let you listen to their entire catalog, download/cache the songs beforehand, listen to your own audio files on local storage (including .flac files), and subscribe and listen to Podcasts.

Literally was one of my most used apps until YouTube Music happened and they had less features for double the price.
