Linux -- Pipewire disaster solved

 Reference

At minimum, you will need to install the libspa-0.2-bluetooth package, remove the pulseaudio-module-bluetooth package (if previously installed), and then either reboot your computer or restart the PipeWire services, otherwise device connections will fail with "Protocol not available".

When you go to the new KDE, it transfers everything to Pipewire.  They don't tell you they left in some pulseaudio stuff.  Get rid of all that and it works.  That was a good many hours of effort.
