Hmm, haven’t tried BT on XFCE on Armbian. I’ve done it on MATE and Gnome, mostly. Works well.

Was just talking to Tech Toy Tinker Co and they said that there is something that needs to be added to Cron to run at boot for some OSes to work well with BT.

move rtl8821cs_config to /lib/firmware/rtl8821c_config
