I’m trying to set up a system for a user who doesn’t like the the CLI much and has a few bluetooth devices.
What are my options for configuring, pairing and controlling bluetooth devices via Kde or Gnome for users who are affraid of the command line
The nixos wiki seems to focus on CLI only tools.
Any idea’s welcomed.

Afair plasma has its own BT widget, not sure about Gnome though.
Personally I use blueman-applet
started by my WM.

Almost any desktop environment will have some graphical interface for connecting to Bluetooth devices. GNOME has a dedicated panel in the Control Center. Pantheon and MATE have something similar IIRC. And yeah, you can fallback on Blueman if you do not use a DE.

I think my stumbing block is i’m using KDE… so unless missed , i can’t see any bluetooth setting in a default nixos KDE derivation.
Dumb question, but did you enable bluetooth support ?
Hmm, it indeed appears that unlike GNOME and Pantheon,
non-mobile Plasma does not enable Bluetooth support by default:
