Hello,
I am on a third unix OS and each OS I tried had issues with bluetooth. I primarily care about getting my headset to work.
- In Ubuntu it was an intermittent problem. After laptop went to sleep I had to remove and re-add the device for it to work again
- In Fedora 25 it detected some random device (I think my sister-in-law's fitbit) but not the headset
- In Fedora 26 I get nothing. After doing some googling I found that unblocking the device through rfkill was solving the problem. But it didn't work for me and I have no idea where to go from now.
Here are some commands outputs:
$ lsusb
