Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

not a fan of huawei earbuds but I got a pair as a present.

Only use I see for this thing is to listen to music with my notebook and maybe with the android device (an asus with android 8).

I've never used wireless earbuds, so I have no idea how to start.

Help appreciated

They generally all connect over Bluetooth so should work just fine.

The only sticking point may be if Linux doesn't have the proper codecs like aptX or LDAC (and the earbuds support them) you won't get as high quality audio as you should.

I've had no problems with LDAC. There is a free software LDAC decoder in Debian.

Yeah. It will almost certainly work, but you might not get the same quality as you get on Android. Check the specs of your specific model of earbuds to see which codecs they support. LDAC should work on Debian, but as far as I know Huawei's proprietary L2HC codec does not work on Linux.

I'm not 100% sure about this since I've never used Huawei earbuds myself.
