Nitroshare is great. I love it. Works with Win, Android and Linux. Although it doesn't work for Ubuntu 20.04 yet, which is a pity. Hope they will make this available soon. In the meantime, need to use something else.

Super reliable, display language is stuck with system language. Also, file transfer starts and gives up after a minute, peer client is listed half of the time, ended up using Windows' built-in network file sharing instead. I can't live without this.

Feels pretty convinient at first glance, but then it turns out that NitroShare does not transfer symlinks and does not preserve executables rights.

xenmaster's minimalist android apps

This is a list of all the apps I use on Android. Most of the apps here are open source and many are replacements for stock Android offerings. Almost all are available on F-Droid. I don't use any social networking apps so you won't find them here - sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are available via browsers! Same thing with shopping sites, Amazon can be accessed via web-browser.

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.
