Using kde-connect for that, works really nicely cross platform.

I love KDE connect have been using it for years.

Only issue is recently I tried it on my raspberry pi and some features don’t work. Specifically I can’t get clipboard sharing or remote input to work on my raspberry pi.

Works great on my linux laptop. It’s also available for windows but lacks some sruff there unfortunately. For example you can only send one file at a time and many media players in windows are not recognized and yherefore cannot be controlled from the phone.

I know this is the linux community. Just wanted to mention these things for people like me who also have a windows machine for gaming

I tried to use it between my Mint installation and my iPhone but couldn’t get it to work. Didn’t get any error messages, they just couldn’t find each other. Any idea what’s up?

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.
