I have a dual-boot system of Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 (AsusX55C) I want to install bluetooth drivers on my pc in Ubuntu and there are drivers that are supported only for Windows 8 according to my pc ,so I have heard that we can install Windows drivers in Ubuntu so how to do that? And the most important thing that the drivers are not manual they have to installed through the installer that the manufacrurer provide so how can I run that installer in Ubuntu. Thankyou.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:blaze/rtbth-dkms sudo apt update sudo apt install rtbth-dkms sudo vim /etc/rc.local 

Add the command modprobe rtbth &> /dev/null right before "exit 0" and save.

sudo chmod 777 /etc/rc.local sudo apt install blueman 

Reboot.

sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start systemctl start bluetooth sudo modprobe btusb sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service sudo service bluetooth restart

I installed the latest driver from github by using gdebi package installer and using this command :- sudo modprobe rtbth now its working but not finding any device :( .
