So i've been having this issue for a long time now, i recently just wiped my disk for archlinux(i was dual booting windows before) but my problem still persists. So In every distro i've tried bluetooth doesn't work and i always get that output even if (before) windows' bluetooth worked fine. Here is my outputs

[EDIT] did a bit more reading, looks like the rtw88 driver hasnt been touched in the kernel since 2020, so that aur driver might be your best bet.

I tried that solution, sadly didn't work. Ill try converting to the LTS kernel. I tried looking for the AUR version of my driver and i didn't find it.

Just an update, installed LTS Kernel the bluetooth DIDN'T work.

yip you might be out of luck getting bluetooth to work on that controller, you can always buy an intel wifi card and replace the realtek one in your laptop, im pretty sure hp stopped hard blocking wifi cards by g7, i remember trying to fix a similar issue on an old g1 or g2 probook by changing the wifi card and the bios/firmware wouldnt allow it.

That's sadly not possible rn, well might as well live without bluetooth

one last stab in the dark before you give up, when you tried the AUR driver did you blacklist the rtw88 kernel driver ?
taken from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88
Blacklisting (needed if you want to use these modules)
Some distros provide RTL8723DE drivers. To use this driver, that one MUST be blacklisted. How to do that is left as an exercise as learning that will be very beneficial.
If your system has ANY conflicting drivers installed, you must blacklist them as well. For kernels 5.6 and newer, this will include drivers such as rtw88_xxxx. Here is a useful link on how to blacklist a module
Once you have reached this point, then reboot. Use the command lsmod | grep rtw and check if there are any conflicting drivers. The correct ones are:
rtw_8723de rtw_8723d rtw_8822be rtw_8822b rtw_8822ce rtw_8822c rtw_core and rtw_pci
If you have other modules installed, see if you blacklisted them correctly.Offline

try this:
modinfo rtw_8822be rtw_8822b rtw_core rtw_pci |grep filenameif all the modules are located in the "/lib/modules/*kernel-version*/updates" directory then they are the right ones and everything is working right.
and if the bluetooth still doesnt work your out of luck sorry.
