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.

I'm running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

KDE Connect is amazing. Also works without KDE.

KDE Connect to my iPad just stopped working for me a few months ago. Do you know of any possible reasons?

could be something fucked with your network settings or ports. if you have 2.4 and 5ghz modes try connecting your ipad to the mode different from the one used by your pc, works for me (edit: on android phone) and I still have no idea why

Doesn't seem to work.. Whenever I send a file from my ipad,

KDE Connect simply stops connecting correctly.
GSConnect keeps connection, but the file always fail to send.

KDEC has been horribly buggy on IOS in my experience. Never connecting or showing devices only occasionally.
