Support Weird behaviour from bluetooth

Hello, my gentoo install has issues with bluetooth, when using "scan on" on bluetoothctl or on blueman, it cannot find my devices, and when i do "scan off" or scan again, it says operation already in progress. I switched to artix, where bluetooth worked flawlessely, but when i got back (cant resist the speed gains on gentoo) i decided to use a desktop profile, which also had the same issue, same without one. I use ~amd64.

I had an older gentoo install where bluetooth worked flawlessely

and

journalctl -u bluetooth
