For a few years I have enjoyed my #Plantronics RIG 800HD wireless headset.
https://www.riggaming.com/800-pro-series #RIG800HD
I have used them with various Linux distros, including a Chromebook, and they work great. Well, there was a niggle.... occasionally they would cut out, turn off, then come back on. At times it was annoying, but I could never figure out the cause.
Recently I installed #Solus #Plasma6 on the #System76 #Thelio desktop, and I have been having ZERO issues. In fact I truly believe the sound is superior to what I have heard before.
I love music and I am going through a wonderful experience!!

Yeah, I am running WAY beyond my regular time.
Was up late last night bringing #Solus #Linux back to my System76 #Thelio, rocking #KDE #Plasma 6. Of course I am still working on fine tuning all the settings!
Don't worry @present_arms, I plan to reinstall #PCLinuxOS #Trinity back onto one of my laptops. I had fun with your Community Release.
Also, intentionally slept past time, and had a good long shower! (You are most welcome.)
Last evening I had wonderful fellowship with our Church Men's D-Group, meeting virtually via Google Meet. https://mycpointe.com/dgroups/
What a great bunch of guys.
Today at the #FoodBank I shall continue to request, and coordinate truckload donations of food and supplies to assist our #Kentucky neighbours in the flooding disaster.
Looking forward to #TheBugcast at 16:30 - https://thebugcast.org/live/
Always a great time in the Telegram chat listening to the live show.
Keep safe y'all.
Heading to work.
Shall have my first #Coffee there - living life on the edge, driving without caffeine!

I can appreciate the humor in my modern fancy System76 #thelio dying while... Working on a silly 16bit DOS game with @cyningstan 's CGALIB.
I guess I need to drag out the Tandy then.
