Is Bluetooth getting worse on Linux? (lemmy.world)

I'm noticing a lot of issues with bluetooth popping up, and they only seem to be getting worse.

First it was my PS3 controller. Randomly stopped working with bluetooth after an update.

Then I noticed bluetooth sometimes just... crashes and doesn't recover. There's probably some weird/sketchy command I can use to reset it, but I've just resorted to rebooting whenever it happened.

Now my bluetooth speaker just straight up fails to connect. I was using it, the connection 'failed', and now it won't connect. Lol.

Meanwhile on my phone it works just fine.

Is anyone else having issues? Does it feels like the quality of bluetooth support has diminished in recent months?

To me, this feels like some new contributors are doing things they shouldn't be doing or some other cultural shift among them.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
