From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello Lemmy,

Bluetuith is a TUI based bluetooth manager for Linux, that aims to be an alternative to most bluetooth managers, and can perform bluetooth based operations like:

Connection to and general management of bluetooth devices, with device information like battery percentage, RSSI etc. displayed, if the information is available. More detailed information about a device can be viewed by selecting the 'Info' option in the menu or by clicking the 'i' key.
Bluetooth adapter management, with toggleable power, discoverability, pairablilty and scanning modes.
Transfer and receive files via the OBEX protocol, with an interactive file picker to choose and select multiple files.
Handle both PANU and DUN based networking for each bluetooth device
Control media playback on the currently connected device, with a media player popup that displays playback information and controls.

This release contains the following new features:

New command-line options --adapter-states to set adapter properties and --connect-bdaddr to connect to a device on initialization
Block/unblock devices
Indefinite passkey/pincode display
Modifiable navigation keys
Display the 'Bonded' property for a device

I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.

This is awesome, thanks!

I’ve been wondering what I could do with the Bluetooth in some of my headless RPi servers.
