Bluetooth not detecting adapters

So i've been using linux for a w hile(i think 1 month already) and i've recently gone frm dual booting to erasing my disk entirely. Everything works fine but not bluetooth. When I was dual booting(yesterday) window's bluetooth worked fine but not in artix nor any other distros. I've tried turning off and turning back on bluetooth in the BIOS and disabling fast startup(in windows when i was dual booting) now I erased my disk and still nothing works. Here are my outputs

Does your system see the bluetooth device using inxi or hwinfo?

Don't know how your hardware is installed/configured w/o seeing the full log. Maybe you could try other drivers like btuart or btsdio to see if it's supported. Good luck.

Of course, replace systemd commands with the ones in your init.

Pipewire doesn't work well with Bluetooth. See: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3532.15.html

Thanks for the reply! I have checked arch's bluetooth wiki page, but had no luck to solve my problem =/
On the pipewire front, I do not have it installed. Would you recommend to me that I install it?

Not really, unless you also install pipewire-pulse as per the note in the Arch wiki article. Even then, Pipewire reportedly doesn't work well with Bluetooth.

What steps have you tried from the "Troubleshooting" section of the Arch wiki article? If you can't find out anything, you can also try different kernels, for example linux-lts or linux-zen.
