I just installed KDE Connect on my #nixos running laptop and it's absolutely amazing! Seamless integration between my laptop and phone. Send files, clipboard, SMS, etc.

It proves that the choice between freedom and seamlessness (i.e. walled gardens) is a false dichotomy; you can have both.

@mawkler I am a KDE fanboy because of that experience for sure.

@mawkler Does the phone also having to be running KDE?

[mawkler@fosstodon.org]

@gabe I'm not even on KDE but it works great anyway

@sjb @mawkler

It's an app for Android.

People on #gnome desktops can use the extension called #gsconnect instead.

@leffe @mawkler I might try it as connecting the phone via a cable is awkward (mainly Android's fault for wanting me to switch from charging to file transfer mode every time, but also Linux's reading of the folders crashes sometimes).
