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.

To sync from android to your PC, you'd need to manually do it by pressing the send clipboard button in the KDE Connect app on your android device. It's due to a limitation imposed by Google. However sync from Linux to android should work automatically. Is that not the case for you?

Oof, I have no experience with (assuming) apple stuff. But it might be even more restricted than android. Good luck and don't forget to share your solution if and when you find it! :)

Are the two Linux devices on the same IP subnet?
Are any of the other KDE connect features working?
