How to install bluetooth that has a GUI with it

Just looking to install bluetooth on Linux...

I have this blueman thing installed I launch it from the menu thing I have at the bottom of my screen and nothing appears.

If anyone has a bluetooth package that comes with a GUI so I can actually see what devices are connected and if bluetooth is enabled that would be great.

I have a custom interface on Ubuntu 20. KDE Plasma. Theres no top menu. Bottom menu is apple style.

Thanks!

This is how the standard KDE Bluetooth settings look like. The first picture is the expanded Bluetooth applet in the panel. By default it is only visible when Bluetooth is enabled, but this can be toggled by right-click on the system tray applet.enter image description here

If you do not see these settings, maybe your Bluetooth hardware is not recognized. solving this might indeed need a bit of terminal work, since unfortunately not all manufacturers provide drivers for GNU/Linux.
