"Easy" is subjective, but tether seems like it would do this? There is also kdeconnect (don't let the "KDE" fool you).

  That's what I thought at first but then discovered: > universal clipboard is synchronized over internet, it is not done trough cable connection. it uses apple continuity service, what you put into UC is uploaded into apple cloud,.. https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/1143 https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/... That's why I'm a bit confused now. > don't let the "KDE" fool you Being GNOME2-then-MATE user, it really would.

    It's a project by KDE, but it doesn't require you to use the KDE desktop environment. I'm sure it integrates with that but it doesn't require it.

Literally OP does this. It doesn't share it automatically like iOS-to-macOS integration but you open the app, click a button - job done.

You can use the app that is the subject of this thread: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tether-linux-companion/id6762097135 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tether-linux-companion/id67620...
