I have read about so many issues regarding Bluetooth and Linux its ridiculous. Usually its random disconnecting, not auto reconnecting, not disconnecting properly, basically every issue possible. And ive had them too. I would really love it if i could just have my ps4 controller hook up right when I turn it on for example. Or have my shared speaker system actually disconnect when I turn off blnluetooth (it doesnt).

I've mostly only used mint with Bluetooth. Some popos but it had the same issues ofc. Only really used desktops, but also have issues on an atari vcs with mint and Bluetooth, exact same issues my desktop has.

Anyone know some real fixes? This is one of those things that makes it very hard to get people to switch when windows handles bluetooth devices perfectly (in my experience) and linux has just sucked so bad on that front.

Unfortunately the problem isn't with Linux (or other OSs), it's the Bluetooth spec.

There are so many different optional parts layered on top of other optional parts that the whole thing is unstable.

Here's an audio article which doesn't answer your problem directly, but gives some background on where the root of the problem is
