Installed Fedora KDE Plasma 42 Beta early this morning as my primary driver, and it's glorious.

The ProtonVPN Linux app is for GNOME, so it looks like I'll need to manually config that for a while since the Flatpak is not an official app and generally not recommended by Proton if you have other options—no big deal.

Now, it's time to have some fun finishing the setup and diving deeper into customization.

One thing I am immediately impressed with is the integration of KDE Connect...

"(Some) Features

• Shared clipboard: copy and paste between your phone and your computer (or any other device).

• Notification sync: Read and reply to your Android notifications from the desktop.

• Share files and URLs instantly from one device to another.

• Multimedia remote control: Use your phone as a remote for Linux media players.

• Virtual touchpad: Use your phone screen as your computer's touchpad and keyboard.

All this without wires, over the already existing Wi-Fi network, and using TLS encryption."

It naturally requires a lot of permissions to do all of this useful stuff, but it's open source and does not collect or share any data.

"KDE Connect never sends any information to KDE nor to any third party. KDE Connect sends data from one device to the other directly using the local network, never through the internet, and using end to end encryption."
