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 prefer an aux cable headset. No charging, no connection issues, and the quality is always 100%. You will also never have compatibility issues.
Might not be for you, but just a thought.
It’s wild how much people hate wired headphones…
sitting at a desk is mostly fine, as soon as you start moving it’s annoying as hell
Indeed. I don’t get it.
It’s probably a generational thing.
Growing up with wired or nothing, and wired was a blessing. But iphones lost the 3.5 milly a decade ago, and wireless had obviously been around for longer.
So there’s full on adults out there now, who just never had to put up with the cord.
If I got cans on and something happens around me, I instinctively take them off and put them down first. Someone who just never uses wired headphones in any other scenario, is just gonna stand up and walk away.
I feel like it’s something people would quickly get used to, but maybe they’ve tried and can’t?
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.
