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.

Preferably a dongle, but Bluetooth is ok as well. what wireless headphones do you use? thanks for all suggestions!!!

edit: because i wasn't very descriptive, i will append this: i don't really care about the quality too much, i want to spend ~80 usd or so, but that's flexible within 10 dollars or so. i would prefer a headset that has a USB dongle, like a wireless mouse. i don't really need a microphone in it, but i wouldn't really conplain if there was one.

these are my choice as well, and they work pretty flawlessly with Linux over Bluetooth; I use Momentum 4s for many hours each day to do meetings and they've been highly reliable. however they are not perfect:

ear pads are non-standard and have a built in plastic backing; I'm worried about long-term availability of replacements
can't do audio+mic over 3.5mm headphone jack, just audio. makes them useless for gaming when you don't want Bluetooth latency
they have USB audio support which I hoped could be used in place of that 3.5mm connection, but the quality is so poor that everything sounds like you're on a Skype call from 2003

so they are good but don't solve all problems, still looking for that perfect set of headphones, but these are excellent as work headphones where I'm just doing meetings and listening to music.
