I tried to have a gaming setup with Linux (SteamOS and Bazzite) but both failed when I tried to connect more than one Bluetooth controller and they'd be unable to distinguish them or disconnect everything after a few minutes, it was a frustrating experience.

This depends on the bluetooth chip and its driver. It works better on some than others.

I tested three pieces of hardware with different chips: T480, X670E Taichi, USB Bluetooth dongle

All worked better with Windows than Linux. It may depend but I hoped at least one would be good..
