I'm wondering if there's a way to enable Bluetooth on my MT7902 device. Is it possible, or am I stuck buying a USB dongle to get it to work?

Yeah, you'll definitely need to buy a dongle. Since the MT7902 was released in 2022 and still lacks Linux drivers, it’s hard to say if we’ll ever see them. You could try to get a developer to code them and maybe consider crowdfunding the project, but until then, dongles are your go-to solution.
There's a GitHub repository for the MT7902 drivers that’s in progress, so fingers crossed something comes of it soon! You might want to check it out for updates.
Unfortunately, it looks like there aren't any drivers for the MT7902 in the Linux kernel yet. I couldn’t find any workarounds either, so your best bet might be to grab a dongle. It's just not supported yet, and it seems unlikely that it will be anytime soon.
What kind of dongle works? Do I need something specific, or will any dongle do? And I really want to avoid the MediaTek ones.
