Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.
This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.
KDE Connect also runs on more operating systems. It's worth mentioning to friends who run Windows.
You can even connect e.g. Android devices with each other! No PC/laptop needed!
This feature is epic. Being able to save a file to my phone from my tablet or vice versa is fantastic.
Ahh this one I didn't know! Awesome thanks!
Easiest way for me to transfer my ROMs to my Steam Deck, even while using it in Windows
also works on GNOME! (gsconnect)
like most apps on Linux, kde connect was never exclusive to any desktop. you don't need gsconnect.
I was not aware that KDE Connect ran on Windows! This is great to hear for recommendations. Thanks for spreading awareness!
It works on all platforms, I work on mobile apps so I have quite a few Androids and iPhones, as well as a linux laptop and a Mac mini. It works seamlessly between all of those.

You don't even need to connect computer anywhere. You can connect, say, your iPad with your Android phone and share stuff from one to another.
Is there a port for M Macs? I'm missing it so much now that I don't have Linux on the laptop.

Weirdly shows not officially supported on github.
Thanks for the other links!
They probably mean they don't provide support via the official channels due to the support being experimental, instead you'd report bugs directly to the kdeconnect-mac repo.
What's preventing you from installing Asahi Linux?
