Hi everyone,

I run a Surface Go 1 with Fedora Workstation on it and with the Surface Kernel installed in order to improve bluetooth.

Sadly, lately, it ain’t improving anything and my Surface Go just seems to have lost its bluetooth connectivity as it only manages to connect to my Sony portable speaker.

My work iPhone and my Microsoft Modern Mobile Mouse aren’t detected/can’t detect my Surface Go, but I can still send files through LocalSend (I guess it’s not using bluetooth).

As I’m getting tired of these problems, if I don’t find a quick solution, I’m looking at getting a wired mouse or a bluetooth dongle.

Since I already have my bluetooth mouse, a dongle would be practical but I’d want to be sure that I won’t run into bluetooth problems with it anymore.

I don’t know if it changes everything, but my Surface Go is almost always linked to an USB-C screen from Philips that I’m using as an USB hub. So the dongle would be on it and I’d use the trackpad when I’m not in front of that screen.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    To expand on that, just because I think it’s cool, radio frequencies are in the same category as visible light, gamma rays, microwaves, etc. (electromagnetic spectrum).
