I posted this on the Linux mint forums a while ago, but no traffic on the post and it's driving me crazy.

Problem: I can connect the controllers just fine via Bluetooth, but yuzu and dolphin don't recognize them unless I've deleted them from blueman and freshly re-paired them. More details abd system info in the forum post, but this is the gist. Does anybody have any insight? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I understand the usefulness of the terminal and how universal it is for troubleshooting across distros. But can't there be a way to make a nice graphical tool for the various admin level tasks that need to be performed?

Edit: Thank you to the outpouring of feedback on this. It has greatly opened my eyes to how much I don't know about. I did see a couple suggestions though, so I'll be sure to check them out.

I don't know if I'm just missing an option somewhere or if it doesn't exist yet, but I don't see anywhere to configure push notifications to my android phone.

If I want to shoot my wife a picture/gif/video I find through telegram, there doesn't seem to be a nice way to do it. I know there's going to be a lot of comparisons being made, but the android app Relay had it down. It didn't permanently download anything to my phone, just a temporary download to send and then it was gone. The same process for any media.
