When you go to bluetooth settings is the slider on the top right enabled?

No worries I'm just hoping it's not an issue with drivers or something Probably is though

go into your terminal and try lspci see if you can find it in the list of devices.

I always use the tp link usb receivers. They're cheap and always work. for bluetooth Don't think bazzite has a good way to add drivers either. since it's atomic.

Seems like I didn't install bazzite in uefi mode Nope
Scotty
Scotty7d ago

Noat
NoatOP7d ago
Nothing System settings still doesn't see the adapter Btintel shows in lsmod now though

My bios doesn't see my bazzite install as uefi Is that an issue? I might reinstall if I need
Scotty
Scotty7d ago
I wouldn't think so.

I think I'm gonna reinstall bazzite I have nothing really on this, I think it's worth a shot
Scotty

Might not be a bad idea. Good luck. Might be acase of installing it with the adapter installed. assuming you installed the card after you installed Bazzite?
Noat
NoatOP7d ago
Yep No luck Tried this again, no luck either
Noat

No luck restarting the Bluetooth service either, the status shows this after the restart

Alright thanks anyway I'm looking for a Bluetooth adapter with a somewhat long range I'm trying to setup a little gaming machine hooked up to the tv, but my current adapter doesn't have enough range for my controller

I think there is a tp link Bluetooth with an antenna but it's like 19 instead of 9 but it should work the same. I usually get about 10 to 15 ft with those little guys.
