Bluetooth service enabled, but Gnome not picking it up

I have not need a use for bluetooth, until I was trying to get KDE connect to work as its not working network wise, so trying to do so, bluetooth doesn't seem to want to turn on in Gnome. Checking if something is wrong, I found a reddit thread that has steps to potentially fix it, but from what I saw, nothing is blocked, aswell as the bluetooth service is running, any other solutions to what could fix this that is ferdora sliverblue specific, or my wireless stuff is nonfunctional on linux entirely?

What device do you have & what bluetooth adapter? (lsusb) To be clear bluetooth works with bazzite and silverblue in general, mine always works both on fedora (incl. atomic) and out of fedora. Perhaps it's an issue with your specific hardware

yes apparently lol so some digging suggests your device doesnt have bluetooth drivers available for linux
