Linux

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 would love KDE connect to have screen mirroring and most importantly - answering incoming calls and sending outgoing calls, with auto connect on linux computer login.

I was using phone link followed by intel unison on windows and ofc phone link worked the best. KDE connect comes close but the call function mentioned above still not there.

Im not a tech related person so all I could do is wait patiently for the amazing devs from the sidelines.

You are looking for scrcpy: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

It says audio works, but I never used that feature.

would be cool to have that as a plugin or something for KDE connect to make the setup easier too

Scrcpy require adb ( Debugging mode enabled ).

I was just trying to get this working as well. I connected to my TV using KDE and audio came through, but I didn't find any sort of screen mirroring. I'm not sure how up to date the info is, but I did read that KDE Connect comes with Miracast built in, so if you have access to that it should be an option.

Unfortunately, my TV is an old 2018 Samsung 4k, so I have no access to Miracast to check, so I didn't dive far enough into it to know for sure. My solution is probably just going to be setting up a Raspberry Pi media build to the TV.

Waste of time, they don't even fix the massive bugs the app still has for years :/
