It's an oldish HP Spectre with a foldable touchscreen from 2018.

Actually works very well.

That would be one of KDE Connects' main functions, yes. It makes sharing any kind of file (photos, videos, whatever) easy.

You can also share the content of your clipboard from your desktop to your phone and vice versa. So you would copy, say, a web address on your desktop, and you would be able to paste it into your web browser on your phone immediately.

Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, "Reef", with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.

If you can't wait, you can download "Reef" from here:

Apple had to learn the hard way: Under the DMA (thanks @EUCommission !) they were forced to give users a choice regarding the default search engine and browser on their systems.

What are we going to do about Microsoft misleading users?
