From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What kind of bluetooth adapter do you have? There are some knock off USB adapters around that sorta work, but then crash and die sporadically. I havent had much luck with them in linux.

It's just the one that's in my laptop, a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3.
Probably not counterfeit then, i would hope anyway
No, and it worked (mostly) fine until recently.
These adapters worked fine for a while for me as well, i had one work fine for a few years, but only recently did the driver support break for it. It was some new feature added to the driver that the hardware didnt support (from memory, i could be wrong)
FWIW, I've had no issues here with my Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 and Fedora 39 (Bazzite).I use my 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth controller almost daily as well as my Sony WH1000-XM5 headphones, both work just fine.
I'm on BlueZ v5.72 and kernel v6.6.14
What distro / kernel / BlueZ are you on? If you're not on the latest BlueZ and/or a recent kernel, you should update them.
