From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's the state of the art for KDE Connect Clipboard Sync? (feddit.it)

A couple of years ago with my old phone (running if I don't remember wrong Android Pie) and my old laptop (running Manjaro KDE) I discovered KDEConnect and how it could enable a clipboard sharing feature similar to the one Apple provides between Macs and iPhones. It was great! Now, after having changed both my phone (now running Android 14) and my laptop (now running PopOS! 22.04) I wanted to reproduce that magic but I found out that with Android 10 some complications regarding clipboard sharing arrived and so it doesn't work out-of-the-box anymore :(

I found some saying that the only way to do that was by the persistent notification button (still ok but meh) and some others reccomending some adb commands to make it work as it was before (which would be great but I wanted to investigate a bit more before pasting some random commands to my terminal)... but it was all kinda old content (referring to Android 10 or at most 11), what's the situation as of today? Do you use clipboard sync? And if so, how?

It just works on LMDE6 with plasma/Wayland

I'm using clipboard sync but I'm using the notification button for it.

and (from what you know of course) there's no way to make it work as automatically as it was before using adb?

Only foreground apps and keyboards can read the clipboard, which is a really good thing.

KDE Connect could partner up with Florisboard or Heliboard/Openboard, and integrate that sync. The keyboard takes it up and sends the content to KDE connect via IPC (inter process communication), which is still not blocked through the Android Sandbox, not even on GrapheneOS.
