Today I noticed that after I first booted my computer, my motherboard’s Bluetooth card wasn’t detected. I need bluetooth to use my speakers because my soundcard doesn’t have linux drivers(another problem for another day) so I went without sound today. But then when I restarted the computer to see if that would change anything regarding the Bluetooth, it,
a.) Didn’t change anything about the Bluetooth driver, and B) now my 2.4g dongle doesn’t work for me to connect my mouse(I can still use it wired though) and my wired keyboard doesn’t work.
Both times I booted my noticed that systemd was shutting down udevd, which I have never noticed before. I know that udev is controls peripherals, so that is the most likely issue.
How would I go about fixing my computer?

That is what I meant by configure. You’re not going to HP to download your printer driver or realtek to get one for your network adaptor. To the end user, the kernel includes the required modules, or it is a matter of simple configurations. The exception being proprietary garbage. However with Nvidia on Fedora, it is a non issue as the Anaconda system builds the Nvidia module from source with every kernel update from outside of the kernel but under the shim, so even secure boot works.
The OP was not asking computer science OS 101. My reply is just intended as a surface level to cause them to question the drivers mentality. I’ve seen many people follow this logic and not get anywhere.
I mean… You can.

Just because Linux bundles a lot of drivers with your distribution doesn’t mean “drivers don’t exist”.
And it’s not only “closed source garbage”:
