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.

What do you use to send and receive SMS on your computer? I've tried KDE Connect but found it too buggy to use daily.

What bugs are you encountering with KDE Connect?

Most of the time I can't even send a message with it - I'll type the message out, click send and... nothing. No indication of error, no indication of success. There's also an issue with loading the message history right after launch. A lot of times it doesn't work or only works partially. App on the phone has full permissions, set to unrestricted battery, etc.

Do you have a crapload of messages stored on your phone? It took a really long time to load my messages the first time, then it was usable
