Before you start repeating tasks that I have already done:
  • restarted bluetooth service
  • tried to use the bluetoothctl command but "No default controller available" was the message that I received
    plus the list command returned nothing
  • modprobe -r btusb and modprobe btusb did not work
  • reverting to the previous kernel also did not work (more info bellow)
Laptop specs:
Dell Vostro 15 3000 series
Fedora 34 with Gnome and KDE installed (now using kde)
Kernel Version: 5.15.10

What was I doing when the bluetooth stopped working:
I updated the entire system using the dnf update command.

These are the commands I run to try to figure why the bluetooth wasn't working, but couldn't do it, apparently...

Bash:

Type this into your terminal: sudo systemctl --user enable bluetooth.service

Now it is working. (I rebooted and started the service). Thanks
