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.

If it's anything big I send it to my synology nas. If it's something small then I honestly just send it through Signal. Although, I do wanna try this kde connect thing out as well.
Kde Connect works very well for this stuff. Sadly, on pop_os! I couldn't make it work, but I used in in all other distro before.
Yeah I just tried it on my arch desktop and android phone and couldn't get it to find my devices. Perhaps it's cause the devices are on VPN?
Nah that's not it. I mean that prevents it but I personally don't use VPN enough.
