I updated a few positive descriptions for clarity. The previous version included explanations on troubleshooting but didn’t include actual steps, so I added those. I also removed installation commands referencing older Pop!_OS versions (21.10 and 20.04), updated the TLP configuration path from /etc/default/tlp to /etc/tlp.conf, and added Blueman as the Bluetooth manager. Additionally, I introduced bluetoothctl as it allows for efficient hardware device checks and generates detailed logs, making troubleshooting and analysis much easier. Additionally, I added new photos to enhance the article’s visual appeal and provide clearer, more informative context.

Great job! I suggested to add basic instructions in the beginning and to remove/reword a few things. Please review. Thank you!

## Bluetooth Troubleshooting

Bluetooth issues can be troubleshooted in several ways. The first thing to check is toggling airplane mode which will sometimes get Bluetooth functioning again. Next, make sure Bluetooth is enabled in the top bar, or in the <u>Bluetooth</u> system settings.

How can people check airplane mode? Can they press a key on their keyboard? What does it look like? What does the settings window look like? Please include screenshot and airplane icon.

After the airplane mode, I suggest adding a new line and a screenshot for this section:
Confirm Bluetooth is enabled in the top bar, or in the Bluetooth system settings.

Sections on how to PAIR, how to REMOVE devices step by step with screenshots should be first part of the article in case a new user visits. Where are bluetooth settings? How can I tell when bluetooth is on/off or note working?

Almost there! A few more changes requested. And can we add a section on how to get in touch with System76 support at the end?
For example:
If you purchased a computer from System76 and you are still encountering bluetooth problems, please have your serial number ready and open a support ticket.
