KDE breaks removable devices and Bluetooth?

So not really sure what's going on but when using KDE I cannot mount my android phone or connect an android controller, however if I use Wayland they work

Bluetooth was an issue also in gnome and in sway, it has been fixed now on Arch. Somewhere read about kernel issue. Can't confirm. Chech your distro forum.

Pro Tip: don't make sweeping generalizations like "KDE Breaks Bluetooth" and then claim its happening while including little to no detail.

I've been running KDE for over a decade without any such problems. KDE absolutely does not break bluetooth or removable devices.

Now perhaps the way you have set up and configured KDE isn't working right and causing problems with bluetooth and removable devices. I'd believe that but hard to know what hapoened without any details.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I assume you wanted to say KDE does what it's supposed if you select the Wayland session. This would lead to my follow-up question: Why not just use it?

Wayland has been the preferred session for KDE since late 5.X

I use feren os, before logging in I can select Plasma(x11), which is the default, ubuntu, or I ubuntu on Wayland

Mouse recorders don't work on Wayland

Color pickers on Wayland are janky af

Screenshot capture on Wayland is weird, if you copy an image to clipboard with Spectacle or Flameshot, it leaves the clipboard when the Screenshot captured notification disappears

My TV doesn't detect input via HDMI on Wayland

Why so passive aggressive? 😅 Probably OP is new to Linux and doesn't know what's relevant information and what isn't.
