I want to configure my operating system so that bluetooth is turned off by default after starting the computer. Currently it is activated on startup, and I have to click on the bluetooth icon in the system bar to activate "bluetooth airplane mode" to turn it off manually.

I already set the Autoenable value to false in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (updated after mentioned in @Frantique's answer). This did not change the default behavior after restarting my system.

How to disable bluetooth by default without losing the option to activate it if needed?

Using Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, ubuntu-budgie-desktop Version: 0.65.

Make a startup application* for this command:

gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill --object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Rfkill --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill' 'BluetoothAirplaneMode' '<true>'

Also you can change the Autoenable value to false in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf.

* Alt + F2 and run the gnome-session-properties command
