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.

I think I'm going to start a war against my KDE setup. I can't even disable bluetooth automatically launching at startup. Well, actually, I could. I had to modify a very-down-to-the-bottom line in some config. But it's definetly not okay for such a huge DE to make you edit basic settings like this in configs. I always thought simplifying tasks like this was the reason for DEs to exist.
What distro are you using? Fedora Plasma has a super simple way to disable bluetooth on startup. Open the Bluetooth settings and select the option to be disabled on startup. You may need bluetooth turned on for the options to display.
Insanely strong opinions about software YOU chose to use everyday. I'd move to something else with no "bloatware" instead.
I chose KDE, I'm choosing to struggle with it (a very good way to learn Linux deeper btw). What's the problem?
