    scrcpy is for projecting your phone's screen on desktop while kde connect is for phone's notifications, sharing files and controlling one device from other(both ways)

    scrcpy is useful for a kind of direct remoting of the phone rather than using another program for some features to control the phone

    contrary to other comments that Airdroid is not available for Linux.. it is actually. HOWEVER, it exists only as an App from the Google Chome/Chromium webext app stores. (Personally i usee Chromium over Chrome, what you pick is no bettere or worse really.)not only is it available to US Linux fan boys (and Girls!!! ) it is also available to those of us who are dirty traitors who happen to also have iOS on hand... So yes you can also include your iPhone/Pad etc... CHEERIO MATES!
