Oh, that’s interesting. I’m assuming my cheap mini PC is using an obscure built-in BT chipset that may not be well supported on Linux. It may actually be the controllers themselves, though no issues on SteamOS. I suppose a dongle that can be unplugged and reconnected to mitigate the issue would at least be an improvement over a built-in chipset with this problem.
I had random issues with a laptop bluetooth adaptor around 6-7 years ago. I was able to hack together a script that wrote “0” to the /power endpoint of the PCI device in the sysfs, and then triggered a rescan of the PCI bus as a workaround.
Maybe something similar could work for your case, depending on how the bluetooth device is connected. Just an idea, not sure if it will work for you, but may be worth looking at.

Appreciate it! I’ll keep this in mind if hopping to Bazzite doesn’t magically fix it.
