Last night I made a pleasant discovery. The Bluetooth antenna in this PC works very well under Linux Mint - as long as I remain within range, of course.
I've been relying on my Xbox wireless headset heavily for the last couple of years & it's begun to deteriorate. Out of curiosity, I tried pairing my hearing aids with the PC and IT WORKED! The signal is much stronger than it ever was under Win10, and it doesn't stutter as much. I will be able to experience a bit more nuance and richness, clarity in sound, even.
Nice to know I have a higher-fidelity fall back. Thanks, Linux.
