The Linux Bluetooth experience may not be as slick as apple’s, but it certainly works as expected.

Bluemon + pulseaudio + pavucontrol has served me well for years.

I guess it's a matter of what you think of as "as expected."

Pairing events, and switching between devices, is a dead easy with Apple gear. Non-Apple peripherals work very very smoothly, too, though when there's an Apple option I tend to pick that because of the additional ease of use.

Windows is materially worse. Linux lags Windows.

I'm not a developer, I don't understand CLI, and I can copy paste stuff to the best of my ability.

I spent 4 hours getting my Sony XM3 headphones to connect. They finally played sound. I never got the mic to work at all.

Linux is not ready for mainstream adoption. The fact that you need to mention 3 packages needed is proof.
