This might be me being kind of pedantic, but this might actually be adwaita instead of LO. I’ve noticed on RNote (a GTK app that uses adwaita), that the save icon is as you described, whereas on KDE’s breeze and oxygen icon themes (and I’m sure many others), the save icon is still a floppy.

I found that deskflow is a great replacement for wayland systems. I think it can even talk to barrier!

no problem!

P.S. You don’t need a WiFi card to use KDE Connect. I have it set up on my desktop (Ethernet only), and it works perfectly. I think you do have to make sure that it connects through the same router that the wired connection uses.

On a sidenote to that, if you install kde-config-flatpak, it enables a permissions management page in system settings, similar to flatseal I believe. I haven’t been able to try it out myself, so I don’t know how well it works.

For the icloud sync, you could try rclone

Here is a tutorial to help you get started: https://rclone.org/iclouddrive/

The current Virtual Keyboard solution on KDE ( maliit ) isn’t working quite as much as i’d like. It only works on GTK apps, and only sometimes shows. When it does, it won’t relaunch after dismissal untill you kill it. Add to that it’s not as feature-dense as its windows alternatives.

I hear that they are working on their own plasma-keyboard, and I hope that will fix most of these issues, but I haven’t had the tim to update my system.

I installed power-profiles-daemon on my laptop (and configured it in the settings) a while back and noticed a bit better battery life. Maybe it could also be the kernel? I updated mine a while back and there was also an improvement.

Perhaps for the phone you could try something like KDE Connect. You have to be on the same wifi, but once connected, you can do things like remote input, sharing the clipboard, sending sms, sending files, and you can browse files from the PC.

Some things I have listed here may differ as I am on an Android

I am currently using dolphin, and I would highly recommend. I tried xfe before. It’s highly customizable, but opening files was king of annoying  (you had to manually input the path of the application)

E: more information

Their free plan of onedrive is only 5gb now :(

I remember reading (I think on Wikipedia or something? ) that they used to offer unlimited when they were SkyDrive. But I may be wrong (it’s been a few years)

There are remotes for PC. I have one right now, and they are pretty cheap in Amazon. One nice thing is that they can also do limited control of the TV (through IR, obv).

One thing to keep in mind is that most identity not all of these remotes have a gyro mouse.
