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).
If you want to avoid KDE dependencies and don’t have Gnome, there are others clients for KDE Connect other than the official kde’s one and GSConnect. So maybe kde connect is still a viable option for you.
On Phosh I was using Valent but there are others like Conecto (discontinued but should work anyway), Konnect (for headless systems, so maybe not for you) and Linux-Remote (check readme for todos).
I’m sure there are more clients I didn’t find with a fast lookup. Hope it helps.
