If you value your time you should switch to Linux. Yes there’s a brief adjustment period, but especially now, that period is very short and well worth the initial effort. It’s not 2005 anymore, Linux has less jank than Windows or Mac OS now.
It isn't just an adjustment period, it's that some things straight up don't work though.
Happy to be proved wrong, but I'm not exactly a novice.
Nobody can prove you wrong (or right) about “some things” not working. What things?
xrdp or a usable alternative primarily
tried rustdesk, AnyDesk, parsec, nomachine - also no go.
Bluetooth issues as well, mouse and keyboard issues. Bluetooth earbud issues in meetings where I keep cutting out or audio is distorted.
Those are the two biggest, a lot of other minor things
Yeah bluetooth sucks everywhere. I have a Bluetooth mouse that works fine on Windows and Linux, but macOS just can’t handle it. Pairing any kind of controller with Windows that isn’t specifically certified by Microsoft can also be a nightmare. Don’t even get me started on Bluetooth headphones paired with an iPhone and the weird shit that ensues when you try to answer a phone call five hours after you happened to listen to some music.
I can’t speak to whatever your field-specific desk-apps are, I’m not in the desk carpentry business.
Have you tried any of the Arch derived distros? I've ran EOS on Yoga Pro 7 for about 4-5 months now, and it's been fairly smooth.
Only started having issues after I did a lot of stupid stuff. BT and WiFi working perfectly fine. No issues with kb or mouse. No dGPU, so can't speak for that.
Overall though it's been superb minus mouse not responding after sleep wake, maybe 1 out of 50 wakes. Can live with that.
With BT I've connected both OnePlus Pro 3 buds and Bose QC Ultra II, but mic is via usb-c audio interface and XLR. So can't speak for mic via BT.
