## What it is
BlueZ is the official Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux, providing the kernel interfaces, daemons, and command-line utilities for Bluetooth connectivity. It supports Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, LE Audio, and Bluetooth Mesh.

## Use cases
- enable bluetooth on a linux system
- connect ble devices from linux
- develop bluetooth applications in C
- set up bluetooth mesh networking
- scan for nearby bluetooth devices
- implement bluetooth le audio on linux

## When to choose
- you need the canonical Bluetooth stack on Linux
- you are building BLE or Mesh applications on embedded Linux
- you need low-level Bluetooth daemons and tools

## When to avoid
- you are developing on macOS, Windows, or mobile platforms
- you want a high-level cross-platform Bluetooth API rather than a Linux stack

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: networking, sdk, developer-tools
- domain: operating-systems, iot, embedded-systems, hardware
- platform: c, embedded
- tags: bluetooth, bluetooth-low-energy, bluetooth-mesh, protocol-stack, le-audio, linux
