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.

Try KDE Connect if you've got an android phone, it's pretty cool. I had to tweak the notification settings on my phone to get it to work the way I wanted, but ymmv, I'm just saying this because I'm usually happy with the KDE default settings (at least the Bazzite KDE default, I'm not sure how much the Bazzite team has changed their DEs).
Yes kde connect is really cool, i like to put on some music before bead and this way i can skip and tweak the sound ! Very useful!
You can even install KDE connect on windows though, I imagine its pretty DE agnostic.
There's quite a few KDE apps that work on Windows. I think they're trying to position KDE as a provider of high-quality cross-platform open-source apps, rather than being limited to just Linux.
