From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A whole article for starting bluetooth from systemctl?
itsfoss.com is awful
Why doesn't it start automatically anyway?
It's against the philosophy of Arch. You configure your system the way you want.
So, like, you have to manually enable every service you install?
Yes, always.
In addition, Arch hardly configures your system in a custom way, too. When you install a package, most of the time, it responds with "here are the files from the developer that you asked for."
If you don't like this philosophy, then your feelings are perfectly valid, and this is a textbook example of why different distributions exist 👍
Why would it?
Because if I install bluetooth it's because I have some bluetooth devices I want to use?...
Not necessarily at all times.
