Hi Bill!

Does your computer have bluetooth capability?

Are you using Ubuntu? Perhaps a Linux Mint forum or chat would be a better
place to ask?

I use KDE Connect to link to Android and iPhones and I also have Bluetooth
hardware and I’m using Ubuntu.

Please feel free to email me directly if you have any more questions as I
used Mint for years. They do have a good community that can help as well.

Take Care Now,
Zack
