    Microsoft has released something similar for Windows. I believe it’s called Windows connect for phone? But it does exist.

      Yep, although I’ve found KDE connect to work better. It was more reliable while the windows one kept doing unexpected things

        You will get no argument from me there. I used the one on Windows a couple of times. Wasn’t all that impressed. But the one on KDE is the one I use most myself.

          I recently switched to tumbleweed kde, so I tried kde connect for the hell of it, and holy crap I have been missing out.

        I loathe phonelink so much, after trying to use it for a week.

        Yes I think that’s what they’re calling it now. They used to call it something else. But it generally works everywhere windows works. Though I don’t have very many windows machines myself and much prefer KDE connect. But there is something similar. Apple has one too. But it strictly only works with iPhones.

          That’s why the US is suing them (locking people to Apple devices).

            Yes, I just hope it goes better than the whole Microsoft deal. The next president turned around and basically undid all the work of the Clinton administration.
