I've experienced Bluetooth issues like that before on Windows. 100% of the time it's been solved by using a better Bluetooth adapter. I don't have any issues after using actually good Bluetooth adapters, such as modern Intel ones.

I could do that, but I’m using the built in Bluetooth on my desktop. Honestly, I’m just annoyed with Bluetooth and windows. Everything else not based on Windows work completely fine, from macOS to my multiple linux desktops

Are your Mac and Linux desktops using the same Bluetooth adapter as your Windows machines? If not, then maybe you do have an adapter issue and it's not the OS.

Linux and Windows are on the same machine. I can’t rip out my motherboard’s adaptor to connect it to my Macs

That's like arguing graphics suck in Linux compared to Windows because your 4090 in Windows works great but your CGA adapter you use on your one Linux desktop isn't that great. You're not doing a real comparison of like hardware, you're comparing different adapters across different OSes.

True, but I can’t feasibly rip out my wireless adaptor on my motherboard and connect it to my Mac.

Linux was running on the same hardware that windows was because I wanted to utilize my 4090 for some machine learning projects, so yes, there was an apples to apples comparison

When people say that Linux works flawlessly with the right hardware, people also often don't seem care.
