The dongles are able to see other devices, and will eventually see the Pinetime, but it continues to fail to pair or connect with it. I've been able to use Gadgetbridge on Android to flash my Pinetime, but that requires the location permission so I would prefer to flash my Pinetime with a regular computer.
What bluetooth USB dongles (or chipsets) are other Pinetime users using on Linux to flash their watches?
This is USB dongle that I have on my desktop pc and it does work:

Make sure what ever unit you are purchasing has the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capability.
