It's not Silverblue specific, it's the Linux Kernel.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can verify, use Silverblue and it was plug and play for me back when I first used it around January.
Updated the kernel to 6.13 around February/March and broke Bluetooth for me. I have no idea how to fix it besides rolling back to a prev update.
Yeah, he's just here to shill fedora.
Holy shit, red(hat) spy in the base‼️‼️
What? You're acting like Fedora is like Apple or Microsoft lmao
Read his comments. He's likely a 15 year old troll that has learned the word shill just recently
macOS and external monitors. Name a worse duo
I use Silverblue and MacOS daily, I enjoy the former so much more.
Unfortunately my relatively new Lenovo laptop has a small but also major driver bug that hasn’t been fixed in all the time I’ve had it. Bad to the point I got the Mac to have actual working hardware. But I do not enjoy MacOS in the slightest. At best I can say it harasses you less than Windows and respects the user a degree more than Windows.
Laptops specifically have been such an Achilles heel for Linux due to driver issues and battery issues. I honestly would just rather stick with OSX and containerize. The thing that might test that is X86 support lapsing at least for some of my MBPs.
What’s the driver bug? Chances are I can’t help unless it’s one very specific one, but I figured I’d ask.
The touchpad would be very unresponsive for several minutes after waking from sleep. It would still work, but had a crazy latency. Happened in both Windows and Linux.
I believe I could’ve hacked around it with this command.
If it works, you can add the rmmod and modprobe to your login. Either to your Display Manager (login screen) or, since Silverblue uses Systemd and that command needs to be run as root, create a before-login service.
