I love the idea of KDE connect, but its over featured and buggy.
Most times I'm trying to send a file, the computer I'm sending to is not visible which requires me to goto that machine and reset KDE Connect. I can't send more than one file or KDE Connect crashes and resetting it on Linux is a proper pain.
Plus I just want to use it to transfer files, yet there is no universal setting for the app, thus I have to turn on/off the features I want per device. And when KDE connect randomly forgets a device and I need to re-pair it I have to disable everything again.
At times Bluetooth file transfer is easier. But then I use it on my iPad, where the app can't work unless its open and in focus. But the alternative is a great big middle finger. Its fantastic and I will deal with the KDE jank.
