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.

BlueZ has/had some problematic issues with connectivity. Bazzite and other distros had problems a few months ago that sound awfully similar to what you're experiencing. I'm not as familiar with how Mint handles packages (like if they have their own repos with specific package versions), but it might be that your specific version is behind the fixes.
Hello, thanks for the response. I might have found the issue. Running dmesg I saw some errors, so I realized I never downloaded a driver for the Bluetooth dongle I've been using. I did and rebooted and now I don't see the error anymore and my headphones are working.
I do appreciate the response. I want to daily drive linux and never go back to windows
You'll get there.
I've been doing it for over 25 years and although it's been hard at times, I've never regretted it.
