I want Bluetooth disabled by default. How to do it in elementary os? I've already tried to disable it in settings. But there is no option for this. If I disable it on top bar and login and logout the Bluetooth is enabled.

    This solution "blocks" the bluetooth "widget" too. Isn't there any solution that only "switch off" the bluetooth like the widget does?

Open /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and change AutoEnable=true to AutoEnable=false.
