Looking for options to send SMS from Gnome desktop.

I've been using google's browser based app, but obviously would like to use something that is not google dependent.

I've tried gsconnect. I need to give it a good go but my initial findings are disappointing. If this is what others are doing then I'll stick with it.

I thought there would be some way to view the android ui from my phone, on my gnome desktop but that doesn't seem to be a thing.

My guess would be something from the mobile linux stack, but that might be assuming GSM is used directly, not controlling an external android or something like that which Im guessing youre looking for?

Anyway it seems that for example PostmarketOS uses https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/spacebar Theres prob. more alike. And when everything else fails, its pretty much guaranteed theres some XMPP magic to do that, there always is.
