Basically, I’d like to be able to get SMS messages from my android phone sent to my Linux laptop, primarily for getting 2FA codes, since that’s the way pretty much every business-type site out there insists on doing it.
Anything KDE-related, it seems to me, makes you download a lot of other software that you don’t really need, and so I’d like to go another route if possible (not dissing KDE, it’s just not for me!).
KDE-Connect’s AlternativeTo page lists a lot of alternatives that aren’t really alternatives, and many seem to have been discontinued. One of them, Sefirah, has a lot of .dll files that come with it, which I believe are only for Microsoft, and so that doesn’t really inspire a lot of confidence. Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions.
(also, not using GNOME desktop or ZorinOS, so those options unfortunately won’t work).


Anybody interested in the differences between GS Connect and KDE Connect would care, you absolute imbecile. You doubt that pretty is high on the requirements? Whose requirements? OP or the OTHER person I replied to? Are you too dense and outright STUPID to understand context? Reply-to?
Do you enter a comment section and think every single effing reply is to the OP? Are you sitting there right now, questioning yourself if this very comment is directed at OP as a reply to his search for alternatives or maybe, just maybe it’s directed at the person I replied to?
