- matheusmoreira 3y agoNot really. There is nothing about systemd that makes bluetooth or audio its exclusive purview. You just have to put in the effort to make it happen. Gotta figure out how they did it and do it too. It's not gonna happen without somebody making it happen. Be somebody. Systemd is influential because the people making it often are those somebodies but the fact is anyone can be that somebody, you don't need their blessing or that of some standards body to make anything. I went as far as getting rid of libc. Made a lisp that runs directly on top of Linux using nothing but system calls. It can do anything other software can do: I run strace on a program, my lisp can do what it does if it just replicates those system calls, doesn't matter if it's simple I/O or mounting disks. I want to eventually boot Linux directly into it.
- michaelmrose 3y agovoid linux which opted for runit over systemd has bluetooth configurable via bluetoothctl or blueman-applet so seems this is a thing. That said bluetooth is kind of flaky. You may get a better result with a device that has a usb dongle. Logitech models reportedly work. The Corsair unit I just bought works well for instance. Leitner works despite having crap audio over usb.
- freedomben 3y agoOnly if you want somebody else to do it for you. Everything is open and hackable on Linux so you can make it work without systemd. Thus far this hasn't been a priority for others, but that doesn't mean it can't be done
