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.

I was trying to use a Bluetooth USB dongle on my home server with Home Assistant to integrate Bluetooth devices like Switchbot Locks into it. It worked sometimes, but it was so unreliable that I ended up getting an ESP32-based device and making it into an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy. Not an option for everything (it's only really designed for use with Home Assistant) but works well for my use case.
Homeassistant is super fussy about bluetooth. Its how i found out my bluetooth adapters were counterfeit. I bought some genuine Asus BT500 adapters and they have worked fine (i think)
It wasn't a Home Assistant issue though. All the errors were coming from Bluez.
