Personally I'm not as 'heartened' by the click as you are.

This little adventure has caused me to take a look at a W10 Lenovo 
ThinkPad I have that I usually boot in a linux.  I was experimenting on 
pairing some bluetooth earpods I had found recently in their charging 
case while on a walk and which I employed by purchasing a cable to 
enable my USB charger to mate w/ the case's connector.

Lo and behold; I discovered two things.  The wifi capable ThinkPad does 
NOT have BT; AND it does have Realtek audio (again).  Which case 
speakers fortunately work.

Apparently the only computer device I have around here w/ BT is my RPi 
3B, which I'm thinking about replacing w/ the 'powerful' (relatively) RPi 5.

You must surely realize that none of this stuff has anything to do w/ LM 
of this group.  I would add, however, that LM, like almost all linux 
distro/s I have booted live on that ThinkPad, does NOT properly 
recognize the Broadcom wifi, and must be 'helped' in its connectivity; 
but MX does.

Grasping for some appropriate topicality here.
