AirPods on Linux? LibrePods Project Makes It Possible (linuxiac.com)

Apple builds excellent products used by hundreds of millions of people, and when it comes to AirPods, one thing has consistently fallen short for Linux users: they’re still hard to use on this platform, with features heavily limited.

So I was genuinely surprised to come across the project, which goes a long way toward fixing that problem. Meet LibrePods – a solution many Linux users have wanted for years.

The project offers one of the most comprehensive AirPods integrations for the Linux desktop (and Android devices) to date. Instead of relying on partial compatibility through generic Bluetooth stacks, the project implements Apple-specific behavior directly, providing Linux users with access to features that are normally unavailable once the earbuds leave macOS or iOS.

So then I guess it’s kinda weird for that user to rant on and on about someone owning AirPods when there really doesn’t seem to be equivalent alternative. Cause lots of people are pretty meh about those fairbuds.
