bluez VS LARBS

See for yourself, it's public - https://github.com/bluez/bluez/graphs/contributors. Top contributions are from Johan Hedberg, Marcel Holtmann, and Luiz Augusto von Dentz if we're dropping names, or from Intel if we're speaking about corporations.

5.68 with the fix is out: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/releases/tag/5.68

These are some links I checked and followed: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/blob/master/test/simple-agent https://scribles.net/creating-ble-gatt-server-uart-service-on-raspberry-pi/

The only issue I have is that I can't use LDAC with my bluetooth headphones (Sony WF-1000XM4). This is probably related to bluez: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/313 It's fixed in bluez 5.65 which is not available in the repositories (yet). The current repository version of bluez is 5.64.

I am sorry but this is still not clear enough. I will assume that you are using a Linux based system e.g a raspberry pi and a Xbox one series x/s controller (the one with the share button). If this is the case, I have bad news for you: they still didn’t fix the problem with the Bluetooth ble inside the Bluetooth stack implementation on most Linuxes OS (Debian, Ubuntu or anything that uses BLUEZ). If the controller is not the latest BLE version, it is only a matter of updating it to a newer kernel (5.13 or higher) and the latest blues version, as there was also another problem that was solved for the older controllers. If you are in the first case where they didn’t fixed it yet. You can report it on GitHub or just follow this issue https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/155 to check if something new comes up, there is also the possibility to use a Bluetooth dongle and somehow “transplant” the pairing keys from a windows computer to Linux so that the controller leaves this “connection loop”. Check that GitHub issue or this https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues/198

There are so many awesome looking rices. They look and feel awesome and are often lightweight, too. IMO, these are a lot cooler than any pre-configured DE. Some kind of "pseudo-DE" (really a meta-package) that took care of tedious set up aspects for the user would be great. There is an example of this for arch (not endorsing it particularly, just an example of a way this could be done).

I get it, I should have been more clear about it. I don't know where the issue originates from, so I put forth all the info, which is just that vanilla arch + LARBS.

I am writing an arch bootstrap script based on luke smith's. However, I am using rEFInd ( an alternative bootloader) instead of grub. One of refind's config file looks like this :

Was there a list of software that the setup assistant listed anywhere? (something like the larbs list would be very nice)

Basically, I copied a lot from Luke Smith's LARBS, but cut it down majorly because it handles all sorts of actual installation tasks that I will do manually (new user, partitioning, etc)

I’m planning to buy a raspberry pi 4 and installing archlinux arm on it. Does something like LARBS work? since it pretty much has most of the software I need without doing much things.
