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.

if your BT is connected via USB (lsusb), there's a buncha kernel switches that prevent it from suspending. since it's a stationary device that's often not needed, so disabling USB and BT autosuspend goes a long way to make them things behave.

It's integral to the motherboard, but that does make sense otherwise.

those are still connected via USB internally most of the times, type lsusb and if it's there, same thing applies.
