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.

Kde connect is great.
KDE connect is a large suite of some good, some half-baked, and some just plain scary remote tools.
I'm liking LocalSend for the occasional "I want some files/pictures/text to go from here to there".
It's a lot to toggle off, on each computer, multiplied by every other computer that you're connecting to. It's too insecure-by-default.
I second KDE connect. It's awesome. Don't listen to the haters.
I used to love it until I started having so many problems, and with zero support I had to give up.
