Can you recommend a Bluetooth dongle that support s version 5.3, not too terribly expensive and available in Europe? Preferably works out of the box on Ubuntu LTS, but compiling my own kernel is also acceptable.

For context my last attempt ended with one that only works with Windows 10, when no other Bluetooth receiver is connected. Cherry on top it needs troubleshooting wizard after each reboot.

    I would like to connect Bluetooth headphones and a DualShock controller to my PC for gaming purposes. Cables are annoying

      I’m pretty sure you can use aptx codecs using a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle and pipewire/bluez5. Just be aware when using them for gaming, if the game is cpu-bound and starved the system out of CPU time, the bluetooth audio might start to stutter. A Bluetooth audio dongle never stutter because they have their own independent Bluetooth stack, but they’re about 10x more expensive than a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle (~$50) and can only be used for audio only.
