Open Source@lemmy.ml•Alternative to KDE-Connect?English
2·1 month agoI do indeed use apt. I think that all of those are bona fide dependencies! I believe there was also a “recommended” part which listed a few other things that I didn’t install.
sudo apt autoremoveshould remove unneeded stuff, I believe, but doing it just now, it didn’t find anything.

1·1 month agoJust saw this, Android 2 Linux Notifications on F-Droid, anyone tried it yet? The question for my purposes, of course, will be whether or not it will show the content of the notifications, which I’ll need for 2FA codes. Might just give it a try . . .

2·1 month agoI find the KDE Connect display to be a bit clunky, but if you’re on Cinnamon there are two applets which help to smooth out the experience a bit.

Need to get 19.0 MB of archives. After this operation, 87.9 MB of additional disk space will be used.
But, I would say you are correct, 87.9 MB isn’t really all that much space in the greater scheme of things. Hopefully the version they have in the repos won’t be too out of date. Maybe I will give it a try after all . . .
