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.

Could you please explain a bit, do you mean that otherwise your bluetooth device would not auto-connect to both devices?
I mean, you probably can't use them simultaneously anyway?
I think they meant that they copied the keys from Windows to Linux so that they can easily pair their Bluetooth device without having to repair when booting into the other OS.

So without doing it, I think you have to forget and repair every time you want to connect your Bluetooth device if it was paired with the other OS. If keys are copied, you can just connect it without hassle. I did it so that I can pair my controller by just pressing its Power button, and it does not worry about whether my computer is running Linux or Windows.
They said windows partition so I’m assuming they mean when they boot into Linux the Bluetooth device just works instead of needing to redo the pairing process.
You can, BT >5.0 supports up to 2 simultaneous devices.
The problem is not the bluetooth device, but the pc having a serious issue of multiple personality disorder if both linux and windows are running at the same time ;)
Ah, got it. Thanks for the clarification.
