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 love KDE Connect! And it's even available for Windows users. Great piece of software that can do so many things. I've used it on many occasions to quickly get a link or something like that from my PC, having the ability to share your clipboard is amazing.
It's also been my main "share the password manager file" application for the longest time before someone else on Lemmy recommended Syncthing. But KDE Connect is still fantastic!
I love the wii remote mouse thing in Connect, it's really nice when I want to interact with my computer, but am too lazy to get out of my bed to do so
