      The matter of wonder is that I never needed this ‘auth’ thing or the ‘trust’ thing in Windows, Mac, or Android, and never had recurring disconnection problems, before this experience. I just paired a device and then clicked ‘connect’ or ‘disconnect’ and went about my business. In fact, I was baffled by how people seem to always have some issues, devices connecting randomly, etc.

      Even Bluetooth range seems to have dropped compared to other platforms. My phone can reach the headphones over a large apartment, while laptop loses them if I walk behind a wall.

          6.14, Mint. Disconnections don’t seem to happen anymore, but I’m planning to look into whether Bluetooth power can be adjusted in Linux, or if congestion somehow gotten particularly bad lately by coincidence.
