Hey folks. Complete and utter Linux newb here. I did, however, manage to successfully install AV Linux MX Edition on my LG Superslim laptop. Little victory number one. Now I'm having issues connecting my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. From what I've read, BT in Linux still has issues connecting things like headphones and mics, but I can't seem to find specific info about qwerty keyboards and mice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if there is other info you might need from me.

Thanks!

Might be some clues here:

Linux is very hardware-centric, and sometimes the newest gear will take time to have kernel support.
A usb keyboard with trackball may be a temp solution you can live with. Or need. This one has a long cable:

At some point, a usb audio interface may be desired, or an extra distro added by way of installing it on
an external drive, for testing the latest updates, once the first on is stable. I have a few AVLinux setups,
and always keep one that is stable, no untested upgrades allowed.

Bluetooth/wireless in win/mac musicians is not perfect, and only recently have I read where latency is just tolerable for recording,
in some specific wireless hardware combos, which I have not verified. This article discusses recent difficulties:

Hopefully users with BT/wireless gear and experience will have better info.
Cheers, and welcome to the asylum!

Hi,

As said above it will most likely be up to how well supported your set is by Linux, I've been using logitech wireless KB and Mice for years because they are always well supported. Can you tell me the make and model of your KB?
