I could not detect any bluetooth devices and was only able to get this working after following the resolution reported in this [redddit forum](https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/10od78v/pop_os_bluetooth_not_working/). I would like to also state I have faced similar problems on Windows where unplugging cable after shutdown worked. But with PopOS that wasn't the case and only resolved after waiting 60 seconds. Let me know if there is any power output I need to provide or Bluetooth device details for this PR to be merged, thanks.

FYI I'm on Pop!_OS 24.04 when I enountered the problem. Not sure if you even need further hardware/software info at this point. |

Hi Emma, FYI: Github deletes workflow runs awaiting approval after 30 days. I made this PR on June 30th. It's now July 27th. Could you please get my PR peer approved before the 30th? Thank you. Jordan |

A couple things:
- This only applies desktop computers, but this doesn't make that clear.
- This is a pretty drastic step that is not guaranteed to fix the problem, and is very hardware-dependent. I'd rather couch it in language along the lines of "in some cases" or "this might help", rather than inserting it as the next troubleshooting step that everyone should try. I'm not sure how to state that sentiment cleanly though.

I would like to also state I have faced similar problems on Windows where unplugging cable after shutdown worked. But with PopOS that wasn't the case and only resolved after waiting 60 seconds. Merging this PR would save folks a lot of troubleshooting as my resolution has been mentioned near the top.
