    I cannot say I know if this is a function on the Linux version, but one tiny gripe I have with Connect is that I can send my clipboard from my phone to my windows desktop but not vise versa.

    I can definitely say, though, that the pretty much only other function I use (file sending) is pretty good when I want/need to send smaller things to my desktop and vice versa.

    I've definitely had it work in the past!

    If you're talking about the clipboard feature working on the desktop version, I'll have to do dive into connect.

    I like how you have mentioned your instance name in username to distinguish between your alt accounts

    i am not on my laptop right now, but i am running ubuntu on a vm: and didn't know how to run kde after installing from ubuntu software store, and apparently it require usb debugging on android, although i would prefer wireless debugging: i even struggled to install the teamviewer .deb file, but figured it out afterall and had to figure how to run teamviewer, then after launch, i had to activate remote desktop, i had to install this rdp thing, and yet couldn't reach the teamviewer server. again, all this on the VM ( Vmware on windows 7) i am used to windows gui, so i took alot of things for granted, and the smallest task requires me to look up a guide for it, but kinda worth it, since i can't install win 11 since my laptop is too old and couldnt install win 10 since it required a different partition system, and after that it didn't install, so i am familiarizing myself with linux on vm for now

    Fwiw most/all of the plugins didnt work for me in Ubuntu until I switched from Wayland to X11

    OK, I just tried reinstalling KDE connect on my phone. I didn't have to do anything with USB Debugging. There should just be KDE Connect in app menu after you install it, there you should be able to pair a new device. However I don't know how well that may work under VM.

    About the TeamViewer, I did use TeamViewer on Linux Mint without problems. Maybe again something to do with VM. RDP just seems to be Microsoft's remote desktop protocol unrelated to TeamViewer.

    But I never properly tried Ubuntu. I didn't even manage to install it as the installer kept crashing :-/

    try flatpak version or appimage version, I've seen better results for apps on those formats in terms of ease of use

    I've had to use CX File Explorer here and there for various things. KDE is just a better version of that then?

    CX was pretty lightweight last I used it.
