bluetooth

I have an old Dell Alienware I'm working to get Bazzite working on. It DOES run, but I'm having bluetooth issues. It doesn't see my PS4 controller. Or any others. It does see every other bluetooth thing.

The built-in bluetooth is some proprietary Dell thing. I ordered a dongle to try and get around the issues: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M1VJHVD?

I don't know if I need to disable/kill the built in Dell one or what, but I'm still not able to see the PS4 controller.

I get as far as "the setup of <address> has failed." And it seems to no longer see the PS4 controller (but it can see an 8bit do controller).

I saw there was an issue with older editions of Bluez, but I'm not finding anything more current.
