Does nothing with my Bluetooth headset in Fedora 32

Random errors and timeouts and also fixed hanging connection errors dmesg during it was. It would connect to my headset but then just make weird, audible, distorted noises, then disconnect, reconnect, repeat. I'll try again in Fedora 33 as another review here says it works there, but 5.9.16 -100.fc32.x86_64 should suffice when it says it works in 5.3. But as long as it goes in the box, it's useless. Hopefully I can update this review positively in the future.

Pros

Broad compatibility, supports Windows 8.1/10, Linux: Kernel 2.6.32-5.3 (only supports Fedora and Ubuntu)

Cons

Crumpled packaging
