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.

I switched to Ubuntu and KDE connect works perfectly with it!
Syncthing, KDE Connect
Currently using the latter
snapdrop.net
I keep having issues with it
In Debian KDE KDEConnect works well. Dont know about suse but can imagine it works there too
EDIT: grammar
Syncthing
Kdeconnect + dolphin lets you mount your phone
Either Localsend, if you're only interested in that one function, or KDE Connect for the ultimate experience.
I love Localsend because it's gloriously simple: Does exactly what you want, and nothing more. I haven't used KDE Contact; what else does it add in?
" KdeConnect": Notifications, messages, clioboard sharing, link sharing, remote control of your pointing.device, keyboard, command inputs on computer... When it works it's great, but it is hit-and-miss between distros and updates catching up.
Single file? KDE Connect. A folder? Syncthing
- portal: cli file transfer agent between computers
- croc: simple file transfer tool via local server, with Android Appp
- transfer.sh: cli file sharing via cloud
Btw, clipboard is great too.
Simply install flatpak then install warpinator
Tried KDE connect, and it works perfectly
KDE Connect is amazing. Also works without KDE.
This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I'll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.
Is there a way for KDE connect to connect PC with phone if phone is on WiFi and PC on LAN going trough different router in the same network?
Wont go inte networking, but assuming networking works between them you can manually specify an IP in the mobile app:
Add a device -> three dots in top right -> add devices by IP.
Bonus: This also works over tailscale and similar apps, making it so you can have an always on connection despite not being home.
Install an FTP server on your phone. Connect to it via an FTP client on your PC. EZPZ.
Tried ftp servers before, too slow
Kde connect is great.
I second KDE connect. It's awesome. Don't listen to the haters.
I used to love it until I started having so many problems, and with zero support I had to give up.
