Agreed. I've read a lot of apologetics for KDE Connect but there's definitely something wrong with discovery. Often it will fail to discover other devices unless I click "refresh" in both devices. I've gone as far a

The publishing of v1.0 of a protocol has little to do with the stability of software implementing that protocol. The software in question is in fact KWin, the KDE window manager. It is the most mature and featureful Wayland compositor, and
