Currently on the market for new audio hardware, headset and mic. Gaming hardware manufacturers often come with their own software that doesn't run well on Linux.

How do you decide what hardware to buy and you can be sure it will work with your OS?

I am currently looking to get Bluetooth headphones but still am unsure about the mic solution, a fixed mic on the desk seems so uncomfortable and a clip-on mic often also comes with it's own software or Android app.

What audio setup does Lemmy use with their Linux setup?

I hate them on the go because they will strangle me if I'm wearing a acarf. Or the cable gets stuck somewhere on my backpack or bag.

But at the desk I don't wear a scarf or backpack so I prefer wired.
