If you have a PC and an Android device. Then sometimes you must have gone through a thought, how can I connect my phone and PC. And if you are a windows user, Microsoft has already covered you by providing your phone name application in their platform for this task.
But it is always good to have a solid alternative for every software. That can give a hint of how things will work on other platforms. And lucky we have a good alternative of Microsoft Your Phone now that we can use on the Windows platform. And that is KDE Connect.
The KDE Connect is previously available for Linux users. And is very widely popular among Linux users. It allows the users to sync their mobile devices with their PC. And let them do many things like see the phone notification on their desktop devices, check the phone battery level or other things.
