Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Is it possible that you are using a Linux distribution that still has Pulseaudio instead of Pipewire? That would cause unnecessarily high latency in the audio stack on the machine.

Do you happen to use a distro that excludes patent encumbered codecs? For example, if you were on Fedora, you might want to install pipewire-codec-aptx from RPMFusion?

I've tried bazzite first but then ran into issues since that's immutable and then nobara(42).

I tried to LLM my way thru a custom driver and made little progress. My headphone doesn't have aptx support, would that codec do anything then?
