Bluetooth not working, device not showing

When i power up my notebook the bluetooth is not working

I already tried to downgrade my bluez package to 5.55-2, my kernel to 6.2.9 and linux-firmware to 20211216.f682ecb-1

I tried several versions of the Bluez, some work but keeps disconnecting randomly, others work for a time period and out of blue my headsets disconnect and bluetooth is power down

I've also tried to run Fedora to see if is a issue with my notebook or my distro and for my surprise in Fedora works perfectly with no issue at least for the period of time I tested

Screenfetch:

Re: Bluetooth not working, device not showing

I think I remember similar issues with BT adapters around that kernel version. I would use the LTS kernel or a more recent version, that one is from months ago.

I updated my kernel to 6.5.5(latest) and did not solve my problem
