I think after initial setup you don't ever really need to plug a Bluetooth garmin into a pc except for updates, just pair it with your phone (with the garmin connect app installed) and it'll upload rides to garmin and from there to strava.

I have an 800, I think that's not Bluetooth. Hence I only use it for routing and don't bother recording activities... the Linux support is crappy.
Bluetooth sounds like it would solve this. That and me putting software on my Windows machine.

This man speaks the truth. It's all automatic and seamless. You stop a ride, open the Garmin app and it syncs. You can also have Garmin Connect set up to automatically send rides to Strava. Very simple.

I only have one Windows machine that is a server, and Garmin are generally anti-Linux... so I guess I'll wait until I get the power meter, Di2, etc and then see what I really need to install and configure.
