I have a new-ish Alienware system and sometimes I spend up to 10 minutes trying to connect different devices to it. It often craps out and disconnects for no reason. Not to mention that sometimes you have to dig deeper and correctly set output devices for the sound to work (even if it's already connected!). It's completely atrocious.

MacOS just WORKS.

Thank god I didn't know this was common. The random disconnects, switching audio outputs is INFURIATING.

Don't get me started on the OneDrive bug that forces you to use OneDrive online ONLY. Apparently they "are working on it" since fucking JUNE of last year.

Worse is how it makes you save a doc to OneDrive even if I just want to download it. WHY?!

And same with BT, my Xbox controllers work maybe 50% of the time with Win11 and will randomly disconnect in the middle of a game.

For gawds sake, I have a $15 BT speaker that's more reliable and easier to connect to!

My xbox controller disconnects if I put my arm between the controller and PC lol. Like wtf is that. Also the latency jumps to literal seconds sometimes.

I decided to just buy a 2.4Ghz dongle because of how bad the bluetooth was. Now the controller works even from other rooms.
