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.

    Distro makes a difference , or rather the packages installed that come with the distro. My Bluetooth worked great for my devices, until I tried my 20 year old BT mouse and it would fail to reconnect after boot. But it was fixed by changine or adding other Bluetooth packages. I forget which right now but something like bluewave vs blueman or somthing, then it was fine.
