Indeed, as said on
https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/wireless_devices/,
"BlueTooth is enabled by default but Tails lacks the GNOME utilities
to actually use it".
The current plan to fix that is:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10801
Help is welcome :)

Indeed, Tails is amnesic and only persists selected bits.

We ship Debian kernels, whose configuration is public :)

Great news!

https://tails.boum.org/contribute/build/ should be enough, no?
