Linux has out of the box support for the SBC-XQ hack, which is pretty much the highest quality, most widely supported (even by Apple hardware) low-latency-ish way to drive BT audio. Works exceptionally well. And switching profiles works better than under Windows.

fwiw the last time I had wireless issues was with an exceedingly cheap 2013 laptop built from tablet hardware. That required an out of tree driver for a few years.

Linux Bluetooth got upgraded to best in class when Microsoft replaced the windows 7 Bluetooth stack with the present heap of flaming garbage.

Bluetooth works better under modern Linux than modern windows. I can go on for literal hours about this. Windows Bluetooth stack is the most broken and disgraceful pile of code I've ever had to work with.
