AirDroid vs KDE Connect opinions
AirDroid isn't available for Linux.
syntaxxxerr0r1contrary 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!
