Sounds like the problem of installing Linux on a hardware designed for Windows. All those things work flawlessly on my Purism Librem 15, which came with preinstalled Linux. (Ok, I did not try Bluetooth, but saw reports that it works.)

A single Gladwell of anecdata: I've got a thermal printer which talks Bluetooth - works flawlessly when sending data from my Macbook; outputs garbage when sending the exact same data from a Raspberry Pi 3+ (which is definitely Linux on hardware designed for Linux.)
