I have read about so many issues regarding Bluetooth and Linux its ridiculous. Usually its random disconnecting, not auto reconnecting, not disconnecting properly, basically every issue possible. And ive had them too. I would really love it if i could just have my ps4 controller hook up right when I turn it on for example. Or have my shared speaker system actually disconnect when I turn off blnluetooth (it doesnt).
I’ve mostly only used mint with Bluetooth. Some popos but it had the same issues ofc. Only really used desktops, but also have issues on an atari vcs with mint and Bluetooth, exact same issues my desktop has.
Anyone know some real fixes? This is one of those things that makes it very hard to get people to switch when windows handles bluetooth devices perfectly (in my experience) and linux has just sucked so bad on that front.
Learn how to develop kernel drivers for Bluetooth chipsets and debug them. That’s really the big issue, the huge number of buggy chipsets that don’t quite follow the standard and have to be worked around.
Not to mention that Bluetooth is a hell of a protocol anyway. The spec is huge and complex.
I wish I was that smart!
Yeah its just a small cheap dongle I have. However atari seems to have perfected it with atari os and im not sure how
mostly a lot of work. If you can’t do it yourself then hire someone - for a quatrer million per year.
that of course is why nobody does it- those who try can get bored before they get far. Or they get a day job and run out of time.
