      Gnome-bluetooth and gvfs are big. I don’t use Gnome, I use a tiling window manager, with XFCE apps, but my workflow depends on these apps. I hope that Blueman is not dependent on gnome-bluetooth, but GVFS is literally essential, as that’s what I use for mounting external volumes (mainly USBs). This is bad.

      That really sucks. I recently chose to use Nobara too, I hope these projects get picked up by another entity so Gnome as a whole doesn’t suffer.

      What gnome-bluetooth does that bluetooth-manager can’t? It’s just a button reorganization in GTK4.
