Bluetooth never works on Linux

If you've worked with some different linux distros you probably faced bluetooth issues - well you're not alone; here is a quick tip that may help you solve that.

ps: I'm using debian but i think if you use ubuntu these commands will work too - depending on which OS you use, you may have to switch some.

First, open your terminal and run sudo apt update.

Now run sudo apt install aptitude

And whenever you want to activate it just use /etc/init.d/bluetooth start

Then you can just go to your bluetooth manager and connect to your desired device :)


Personally, that is the only way i managed to use bluetooth after switching from windows. Some times you have to struggle to achieve freedom - and that's fine. Don't give up the things you know you must keep doing; keep searching, keep testing and, eventually, you'll see how far you've come and that'll make you so proud and can't even explain.
