I think a "productive" system means multiple things
1) How fast you can do things with your system, includes system efficiency, how much it fails, shortcuts etc, So even if you use it with out-of-the-box settings you could be extra productive, I suggest popOS for this.

2) Linux being extremely configurable makes it perfect for any person, given that you don't need software that does not run on linux.
Creating your own workflow, shortcuts, etc eanbles you to work faster.
I switched form popOS to manjaro i3, I change my settings every now and then and make it better for me.

3) How much of it you actually use, can you use it as it was meant to?
This means Linux might not be for some people, some work better with windows, some other with osX, depending on what you use and what you need your computer for.

About your BT issues, I bet there is a fix somewhere, on some forum for your specific system/OS combination, that is the beauty of linux. Imagina having a BT issue with windows? You are done, get a BT dongle.

Anyway, yeah, sort your issues, learn about them, customize your system, it is worth it :D
