Bluetooth and Wi-Fi work together with no issues on my ThinkPad X1 Extreme. I'm using Wi-Fi on 5GHz. Haven't tried it on 2.4GHz; I imagine there could be more potential for interference there.

I mostly use Bluetooth with Apple AirPods. I tried running Ubuntu on the ThinkPad but it had the same problem I've seen on other Linux machines: the AirPods would only pair as headphones, not as a full headset with microphone.

I like Windows better anyway on the hardware, especially its support for different scaling factors on multiple monitors. So I run Linux in a VM or use WSL2.
