Bluetooth adapter ghosting me on Bazzite 41
Hi all, I'm new to running an all-Linux machine. I recently did an all AMD build and this happened to me on two separate installs of Bazzite:
1. Connect keyboard, mouse, and xbox controller to bluetooth. Everything works perfectly. Nice!
2. Shut the PC down.
3. After booting up the PC, not only are my bluetooth devices not connecting, the system no longer recognizes a bluetooth adapter at all.
Now, I've dug around some other Linux forums to find similar issues. Seems the most popular fix is unplugging the pc! Gives new meaning to the old gag "have you tried plugging it in?" 😆 Has anyone else had this issue before, and did anything else work beside this pretty hilarious fix?
Really hoping to not have to perform this ritual on a regular basis. I have a B650e motherboard, btw.

To anyone running into this issue, i.e. bluetooth adapter no longer available after connecting bluetooth devices the solution is to cycle the power in the PC. There's a little more to it than just turning it off and back on again. I haven't had issues since doing this:

If it happens again, I'll look into some scripting options....
