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.

Bluetooth was an issue also in gnome and in sway, it has been fixed now on Arch. Somewhere read about kernel issue. Can't confirm. Chech your distro forum.

Pro Tip: don't make sweeping generalizations like "KDE Breaks Bluetooth" and then claim its happening while including little to no detail.

I've been running KDE for over a decade without any such problems. KDE absolutely does not break bluetooth or removable devices.

Now perhaps the way you have set up and configured KDE isn't working right and causing problems with bluetooth and removable devices. I'd believe that but hard to know what hapoened without any details.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I assume you wanted to say KDE does what it's supposed if you select the Wayland session. This would lead to my follow-up question: Why not just use it?

Wayland has been the preferred session for KDE since late 5.X

Screenshot capture on Wayland is weird, if you copy an image to clipboard with Spectacle or Flameshot, it leaves the clipboard when the Screenshot captured notification disappears

My TV doesn't detect input via HDMI on Wayland
