system should have it enabled by default. usually we get people asking to have it off by default which requires a script. you can turn it on with a script too let me dig it up

Yeah, it's weird. I didn't have this problem yesterday when I installed it but today, tried rebooting 3 times just to test it and every time it comes with BT turned off

replace the mac with the mac address for the bluetooth radio

Worked, thanks :OtterHugs: . For those looking into this, you can find the MAC address via bluetoothctl list
