Sony WF-1000XM4 on Linux Fedora 35

Last week I converted myself to wireless earphones.
I don’t consider myself an audiophile, I don’t have any deep knowledge of music but I kinda enjoy listening to it.
Because of this I have had a few decent pairs of headphones, earphones and monitor speakers in my life; they all shared a thing: cables.
Last week I pulled the trigger and bought myself my very first pair of wireless earphones: Sony WF-1000XM4.
The main idea was to use them with the phone and maybe with work issued laptop which is running Windows, I did not even thought they would work with my Linux laptop.
But to my biggest surprise they just work on Linux, no fiddling with bluetoothhcl or btmgmt; just enable BT in Gnome settings, long press for 5 seconds on both earphones to activate pairing mode and wait for them to pair.
