Recently installed Fedora Linux 43 (Workstation Edition), and cannot for the life of me change the behaviour of Bluetooth being automatically active on startup. This seems to be a recurring issue across GNOME.
Have tried all methods in this thread:
I have also installed TLP and changed the config, as per this thread as well:
I’m wondering if there’s something that is just completely overriding these workarounds with 43, or perhaps my config files aren’t being read correctly?
Take this with a grain of salt because all I did was Google it and then look at what AI said. AI says that there is a config file… /etc/bluetooth/main.conf. Don’t know if you have looked at that file already… Make sure AutoEnable is not set to “true”…
Mate, this was literally the first thing I tried BUT when I went back to check again after your reply, I saw that I had forgotten to uncomment/remove the hash from the line in the config file. Thanks for getting me to look again. Solved, oopsie.
Awesome. Glad I could help out. Yeah, sometimes it is the little things that we miss…
