• ‘ZDNET Recommends’: What exactly does it mean? • ZDNET’s recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. • We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. • And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. • When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. • This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay.
Article Summaries:
- ZDNET reports that users can now control a Linux PC from an Android phone using KDE Connect. The free, open‑source app pair-available on the Google Play Store and the Linux desktop-lets the phone send commands such as locking the screen, shutting down, launching applications, printing, or playing media on the PC. The connection can be established via Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi, and the feature is not limited to KDE Plasma desktops, though installing KDE Connect on other environments may bring additional dependencies. The article outlines a simple setup process and highlights the flexibility of remote control for everyday tasks.
