Hello there! New NixOs user here with a Bluetooth related question.
So I’ve been using NixOs and I’ve been having a great time so far learning and managing everything from my config file.
But I do have a question regarding bluetooth.
So far I’ve been using the blueman Bluetooth manager, which is working well as expected but I’m wondering if there’s an alternative this community recommends?
——————————————————————
I’ve installed blueman the following way:
hardware.bluetooth.enable = true;
services.blueman.enable = true;
——————————————————————
Perhaps a more modern looking client you are aware of, I know blueman uses Wayland which is more modern than the X11 but it’s a bit scrambled , but in my understanding it was designed to fit x11 so maybe that’s why it looks a bit messy on my screen?
So I’d appreciate some recommendations, which are working well for you. Thanks in advance! :)
