windows device manager equivalent for bazzite?

context: I am not a linux pro. I literally installed bazzite today for the first time and it is my first linux distro ever, I just want to finally get rid of windows before they force me into windows 11

the problem: I want to disable the bluetooth part of my bluetooth/wifi card because the bluetooth part is for whatever reason very bad in terms of range. on windows I just disabled it within the device manager. without disabling that it's prioritizing my bluetoothcard instead of the usb dongle I want to use. I'd just unplug the whole card, but I need wifi.

the question: is there a device manager equivalent for bazzite? or another potentially better way of dealing with my problem?

thank you for reading my TED Talk

Solution
you can outright disable the bluetooth device by unbinding it from the driver using a udev rule (i have to do this on my machine as i use it for passthrough)

file: /etc/udev/rules.d/98-disable-bt-device.rules
# Wifi card bluetooth, removing it so that it is no longer in the way
ACTION=="bind" \
    KERNEL=="7-7:1.0" \
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb" \
    DRIVER=="btusb" \
    RUN+="/usr/bin/bash -c 'echo -n 7-7:1.0 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/unbind'"
# Wifi card bluetooth, removing it so that it is no longer in the way
ACTION=="bind" \
    KERNEL=="7-7:1.0" \
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb" \
    DRIVER=="btusb" \
    RUN+="/usr/bin/bash -c 'echo -n 7-7:1.0 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/unbind'"
