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.

Meanwhile, Linux Mint users have it on by default.
mint and arch aren't made for the same people. Not everyone wants it on by default
Out of curiosity, what's the point of installing Bluetooth but keeping it disabled?
I imagine the opposite would be the default most people wanted (enable it by default and let power users with a bizarre use case disable it manually).
Because it's a security risk but you might need it sometimes.
because arch is a minimal distro and some people see the processing power used for bt to be wasted
