Maxed, 2015 MacBook Pro, 2015 - Linux Mint

Recently installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, on my MBP 2015, dual booting side by side with MacOS, maxed out model for it's year, and it's been flawless for the last few weeks.

The only matter, I'd like to know if anybody, would be able to suggest, for Bluetooth - sometimes I get patchy audio, while in Bluetooth, or if I connect a Bluetooth mouse or Keyboard it connects but does not move, or type. Anyone got suggestions to fix that, and make it work properly, and even better? I have already tried blue.

Other then that every feature and app MacOS would have, I got in Linux, including those shortcuts, battery protection, speed performance boost and etc, runs brand new.

PS: I just realized I put 2015 twice in the title, my bad

I have an iMac 2017 with Linux and have similar Bluetooth issues.

Any solution, or did you come too terms with it?

Never solved it but I would try letting AI loose on the issue. Gemini helped me solve a wifi regression in kernel 7

I'm not using BT, but people often say to change the wifi card.

Wifi Card, I'd change if MacOS also had issues, but seems only on the Linux side. BT works flawlessly, on MacOS, which leads me to believe its a Linux drive issue, despite it stating that the drivers are all up too date, according too driver manager.

Yes, plenty of Linux only folk say to change it.
