Basically, I’d like to be able to get SMS messages from my android phone sent to my Linux laptop, primarily for getting 2FA codes, since that’s the way pretty much every business-type site out there insists on doing it.
Anything KDE-related, it seems to me, makes you download a lot of other software that you don’t really need, and so I’d like to go another route if possible (not dissing KDE, it’s just not for me!).
KDE-Connect’s AlternativeTo page lists a lot of alternatives that aren’t really alternatives, and many seem to have been discontinued. One of them, Sefirah, has a lot of .dll files that come with it, which I believe are only for Microsoft, and so that doesn’t really inspire a lot of confidence. Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions.
(also, not using GNOME desktop or ZorinOS, so those options unfortunately won’t work).
That’s a good question; I haven’t used it. It may be tightly coupled to the desktop, but I don’t know. Try it? ¯\ˍ(ツ)ˍ/¯
GS Connect hooks into the official GNOME extension API’s and looks very nice and integrated. AFAIK it’s a GNOME-exclusive extension. KDE Connect looks ugly in comparison, not to mention how ugly KDE Connect looks without any comparison.
Who cares what it looks like as long as it works? They want to get 2fa sms in their desktop, I highly doubt “pretty” is high on the requirements…
