> enables all your devices to communicate with each other I've tried using KDE connect on two desktops (my laptop running Fedora KDE and my desktop running Nobara, also Fedora KDE) and this statement appears false. It was extremely buggy connecting them, and when they did "see" each other, none of the functionality I expected worked. Wanted to use the shared clipboard feature but it didn't work, nor did anything else. This was early this year, maybe it's gotten better since? KDE Connect is really for mobile (Android) devices and a computer, not computer to computer, IME

Works well for sending things between my laptop (Kubuntu) and Steam Deck.

It works fine for me, and has been for at least 2 years, between any subset of 2 laptops (KDE, WiFi), one desktop (KDE, LAN), and two Androids (WiFi). They're all on the same subnet though.
