Move to Linux on the old Macbook Air is going, slowly, but well.
Having to rethink several approaches to daily tasks, but nothing proving to be a block so far.
One question... Anyone got and bright ideas on sharing files between Ubuntu and iPhone?

  @kel I used Nextcloud for it last time. Worked pretty well.

  @kel It’s one of those apps that, like WordPress, can be quickly asked to do too much. For a replacement Dropbox/Calendar/etc though, when kept simple, it’s really pretty solid.

  @kel Oh nice. I haven’t tried that one. Syncthing I’m more familiar with for just files.

  Good to know!
  I went with KDE Connect as this is more what I was looking for, I think!
  It's still in development, but honestly, just the file transfer and clipboard sharing are enough 👍
  No cloud involvement - which I like!

  @m2m @kel I can’t get passed the idea that KDE apps work on anything but KDE (sans 2005)

  @kel @chris didn't know about KDE Connect, looks promising! I'm used to Syncthing, but if this can take its place I'll consider it for sure!

  @chris
  It's pretty focused, I never upload camera photos to the cloud by default, that's crazy to me... so I want to be able to take a photo with my phone and send it to my desktop quite often, this does that, no problem.
  Similar with copy and paste, being able to do that seamlessly between phone and desktop is pretty useful!
  Never bothered with HandOff.
  SMS is kind of annoying, I am used to being able to do that on my desktop, but probably going to switch back to Signal.

    KDE
    
    KDE is an international free software community that develops free and open-source software. As a central development hub, it provides tools and resources that enable collaborative work on its projects. Its products include the Plasma Desktop, KDE Frameworks, and a range of applications such as Kate, digiKam, and Krita. Many KDE applications are cross-platform and can run on Unix and Unix-like operating systems, Microsoft Windows, and Android. KDE is legally represented by KDE e.V. based in Germany, who also own the KDE trademarks and fund the project. Origins KDE was founded in 1996 by Matthias Ettrich, a student at the University of Tübingen. At the time, he was troubled by certain aspects of the Unix desktop. Among his concerns was that none of the applications looked or behaved alike. In his opinion, desktop applications of the time were too complicated for end users. In order to solve the issue, he proposed the creation of a desktop environment in which users could expect the applications to be consistent and easy to use. His initial Usenet post spurred significant interest, and the KDE project...
