** Optional - Bluetooth manual pairing
Using linux mint across all my devices has been pretty smooth however I have one annoyance with bluetooth on my HP Envy x360 ultrabook (model 13-ag0015AU). On that device I can't pair my Logitech k380 keyboard with the user interface, via either ~blueberry~ or ~blueman~.
To work around this I found some excellent documentation on the Arch Linux wiki for [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth#Pairing][manually pairing]] with ~bluetoothctl~.
The steps I follow to manually pair are:
#+NAME: Manually pair keyboard
#+begin_src tmate
# Enter bluetoothctl interactive prompt
bluetoothctl
# Ensure laptop can pair
pairable on
# Scan for devices
scan on
# Pair with the keyboard
pair 34:88:5D:D6:A6:2B
# Trust the keyboard
trust 34:88:5D:D6:A6:2B
# Connect to the keyboard
connect 34:88:5D:D6:A6:2B
#+end_src
