Is Bluetooth getting worse on Linux?
(lemmy.world)
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.

...no ? years ago I couln't even dream of using bluetooth in linux; few weeks ago I found an old bluetooth dongle and now my usb speakers work just fine - even better than connecting via smartphone because plasma has sbc-xq codec easily selectable. It auto connects everytime I boot the pc, I just had to add
btusb.enable_autosuspend=0
to kernel cmdline parametersmake sure you follow these guides, whicever distro you use
if it crashes, try sudo
systemctl stop bluetooth.service
andsudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
remember, bluetooth is a very cursed embrace-it-all protocol and may randomly crash/refuse to pair/connect unless you reset the devices manually, and this may happen with any hardware/software
