Description DaCoEx 2021-04-18 18:07:32 UTC 
SUMMARY
It would e great to be able to disable bluetooth across sessions.

I do need Bluetooth only occasionally.
To save energy & reduce an attack vector (security) I disable the bluetooth after login.
This needs to happen every time I log into Plasma.
It would be great to make this persistent across sessions.
The only other option is to disable Bluetooth in bios which is rather uncomfortable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log into plasma
2. disable bluetooth
3. reboot
4. Log into plasma
5. disable bluetooth

OBSERVED RESULT
Need to disable bluetooth at every log-in

EXPECTED RESULT
Bluetooth is disabled across sessions

Same advice as in BUG 429519:

> If you want to disable your whole Bluetooth stack at login, you should go to the System Settings -> Bluetooth, Enable (if it is disabled, otherwise the following UI won't show up), tap Configure, and on that configuration page select "On login:" "Disable Bluetooth" option.

Note that there is also a report of Bluetooth not restoring its previous state on login as configured: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488652 (although I didn't manage to reproduce it).
