connecting bluetooth audio

The only clue I get is that it fails to connect.  "Connection to the device failed."  What do I do?  I entered the pin correctly.  I have no idea whether the speaker is even paired??? WTF???  Why doesn't plasma give me more feed back on how to troubleshoot this issue???  Do open source devs even know how to program?  It works easy in winblows!!!  Just boot windows, press connect, and it works!  Why are Microsoft devs so much more competent than open source devs?

You read this and followed? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset
Systemd Service replace by your system init service

Personally, I use (if I have a problem in KDE) for the first pairing blueman application, then the Bluetooth connection in KDE works without problems

Of course, the bluez service must be running, but I don't think I even have to mention such nonsense to anyone who can evaluate the quality of developers.

coincidentally, yesterday I connected BT headphones on a new computer with openrc, artix  nad KDE. I started the bluez daemon (bluez-openrc), unblock the BT adapter (rfkill), and connected in KDE without any problems. Everything worked perfectly. :)
