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'm running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

Kde connect is great.

KDE connect is a large suite of some good, some half-baked, and some just plain scary remote tools.

I'm liking LocalSend for the occasional "I want some files/pictures/text to go from here to there".

You can toggle disable any function in it, so they will not work.

It's a lot to toggle off, on each computer, multiplied by every other computer that you're connecting to. It's too insecure-by-default.

It is not a lot to toggle on your phone, no matter what computer it connects to.

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.
