Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

Yes. Bluetooth has never worked correctly for me, NEVER.

Across multiple distros and multiple adapters, I've gotten various problems. Right now on NixOS, reconnecting a peripheral never works, I get an error that br-create-socket failed, and the only solutions are to restart the computer or forget and re-pair the device. I've gotten this error on two completely different Bluetooth adapters.

My Bluetooth works perfectly on Windows. I don't know why Linux is so finnicky about it.

Works OOB fine in CachyOS for me at least

Is it a bluetooth issue itself, or an issue with the drivers for that particular bluetooth hardware. Imperfect drivers has always been an issue under Linux, and will remain an issue as long as Windows has over 90% market share.

Having tested two different adapters, I'd be surprised if it is a driver issue.
