It does on Linux. It's always worked well for me after I stumble through
setting up things. I should write it down....but haven't.
I'm wondering though can you connect Bluetooth to GPSD - In other words
can I connect my Linux Laptop to my phones GPS and still use GPSD? I've
not tried mostly hadn't had the time or the "wanderlust" to work through
the process. I assume you can. There's not much you can do these days
with a linux workstation.

I guess that's the one area I am fuzzy on is How QGIS interacts with

with lets say you have a Bluetooth I'm not sure what you would do (I
have yet to do the Bluetooth -> laptop -> QGIS Dance because I don't
hate my life enough currently). I've connected external GPS (USBs)
alot using GPSgate and supposedly Windows 10 will let you do the same
thing if you configure the settings.....I guess that depends on How
the GPS is hooked into the Laptop.
Coming from Unix, I would expect qgis to talk to gpsd, which would
manage whatever kind of GNSS receiver you have. There is no good reason
from a software organization viewpoint to replicate code dealing with
the various kinds of things in multiple programs that just need
position. But, if it's just "connect to this address/port and expect
NMEA", it's not so bad.
