There's probably some complex way to do it, but I didn't find it and moved on. I installed Steam just because I could. Then I installed Age of Empires 2. Again, because I could... Then the kids wanted to play Age of Empires so I figured - why not try it from Linux?! Well it didn't go well, to put it mildly. I needed my AirPods paired. So I paired them as bluetooth and they kept connecting for 1 second and disconnecting.

    After some searching, I found a solution involving editing config files and restarting a system service. lol - classic Linux. Anyway, that did work, though, so then I moved on to trying to play the game. It was a little sluggish which wasn't too surprising. Reduced graphics settings and it seemed like it'd be okay. Then the next problem hit - we simply could not get the Linux machine to talk with the other kid's stuff. Searched all over... I would always appear offline. Nothing worked.
