Windows by default loads and enables almost every bit of software it
has. It's why a basic installation of Win10 needs nearly ten gigabytes
of code.
Linux, by default, loads what is necessary to operate it. Things like
Bluetooth are applications, which many people don't need (neither
my desktop machine nor my server have it installed) which you generally
have to install yourself. A lot depends on which desktop environment
you have.
My laptop has installed:
blueman
bluetooth
bluez
bluez-obexd
libbluetooth3
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
plus assorted modem packages which I assume were either standard or
pulled in as dependencies. It certainly works with a bluetooth audio
receiver. If you don't have all those packages installed, get them.
Then read a few articles like this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
Arch Linux is reasonably close to Debian and does good tutorials.
