# 2025-06-25 - Trying to figure out why a pair of Bluetooth headphones was suddenly, randomly, no longer pairing correctly to a laptop running under [[Windows 11]], and I am genuinely surprised how bad the experience is. - Useless error messages. Multiple interfaces to the same operation, unclear why to use one over the other. Different visuals for different config dialogs. Arcane dialogs and squirrelled away options. - This for a device that was clearly **built to work on Windows**. - The trope that [[Linux]] has a bad user experience vs Windows does not seem accurate.
