From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm using Windows and only asking here because Google says it's a Linux thing, but my question is what is a Bluez and why was it trying to connect to my computer at 5AM this morning?

Maybe. Nothing new has been added at my home, I only noticed it as I was leaving for work and since it weirded me out because it just kept trying to connect every time I denied it access I disabled my Bluetooth and left, it's not trying to connect now that I'm back home and have enabled my Bluetooth. The only thing I have connected recently is my PS5 controller and it's showing up correctly.
