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.

Or if you use a VPN.
I mean, this still means they're on the same network, right?
Do you have any tips using KDE Connect with a local VPN (Wireguard)? It works great for me on the same network, but unfortunately fails to connect outside of my network despite one (or both) devices connected to my VPN
You need to input the IP directly, WireGuard doesn't quite do broadcasts in most cases so mDNS won't work.
kinda off topic but will this work in waydroid
Also your firewall may block some ports through Wireguard, but not through a "trusted home network".
I think opening ports for wireguard helps? To allow incoming traffic?
i have kde connect and have sync clipboard on but its not working
To sync from android to your PC, you'd need to manually do it by pressing the send clipboard button in the KDE Connect app on your android device. It's due to a limitation imposed by Google. However sync from Linux to android should work automatically. Is that not the case for you?
im not on android
Oof, I have no experience with (assuming) apple stuff. But it might be even more restricted than android. Good luck and don't forget to share your solution if and when you find it! :)
? i said both run linux. my tablet runs linux
Whoops. My bad, apparently I'm too tired to read
Are the two Linux devices on the same IP subnet?
Are any of the other KDE connect features working?
Yes to both
Just out of curiosity, may I ask why you want to do that?
im disabed and its easier to use touch. so i wanna copy a link on my tablet and open it on my pc
On Firefox I can easily send a tab to another one of my devices using a Firefox account to link them if something like that sounds acceptable to you. I imagine the same is possible with Chrome.
ya i use firefox
2FA codes is one thing I use it for
