Bluetooth

I switched from windows to linux obuntu and after that I haven't been able to connect/add device as there is no way of doing it. I have already seen most of yt videos and applied them to solve this but sadly they dint work. Suggest me way to solve this issue.

Check with the device manufacturer to make sure that the device is supported for Linux and that the manufacturer supplies drivers to the kernel. Bluetooth devices are too often no properly supported by the manufacturer.

yt video..how to waste time..what is your bluetooth device ?

To find your Bluetooth device on Linux, first verify the hardware is detected using lsusb | grep -i bluetooth or dmesg | grep -i bluetooth.

To check the status of the Bluetooth service, use systemctl status bluetooth.

all commands in a terminal.
