It’s integral to the motherboard, but that does make sense otherwise.

Hmmm, I never thought of that. I’ll try it out, thanks!

I wish I knew.

I have two Linux systems: a laptop with Fedora and home media PC with Ubuntu. Bluetooth works great on the laptop, no issues whatsoever.

Completely different story with the media PC. I’ve never been able to get it working properly, and I’ve spent hours googling things to throw into the terminal hoping to get it fixed. I’m no IT guy but I know the basics, and it’s not an old PC or anything (Asus NUC 14 Pro I think), but I can’t get the stupid thing to stay connected with my Xbox controllers for the life of me. My wife wants to play games god damnit!

My Windows box, while rife with other problems (even though I’m on 10 LTSC) also never has Bluetooth issues, and it isn’t the first time I’ve had said problems with Linux distros (had Mint installed on a box at one point but I managed to fix the issue by changing drivers). There must be a better way!
