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.

Hi there! Do you know something about KDE connect alternatives or at least about apps to local work with encrypted clipboard between phone and pc?

KDE connect is too bloated for my minimal DWM system, so currently I'm searching for something else. Thank you.

What about LocalSend? I don't think it does encryption though, but it is quite lightweight.

Yeah, I use it already for sending files. Really great peace of software.
