From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

and (from what you know of course) there's no way to make it work as automatically as it was before using adb?
Only foreground apps and keyboards can read the clipboard, which is a really good thing.
KDE Connect could partner up with Florisboard or Heliboard/Openboard, and integrate that sync. The keyboard takes it up and sends the content to KDE connect via IPC (inter process communication), which is still not blocked through the Android Sandbox, not even on GrapheneOS.
I remember looking into it years ago but didn't find any acceptable solutions. PC to phone works automatically but unfortunately I now have to remember to push send if I want it to work the other way
And do you have to enable some setting on the desktop side to make it work from linux to android? 'Cause I tried and it wasn't working out of the box (maybe it's because I was using GSConnect without having install KDEConnect, could it be?)
I think clipboard sharing was one of those that was on by default when I set it up last time. Not sure about GSConnect, I was just using regular KDE Connect
For anyone else with the same issue, Clipboard sync is disabled by default on GSConnect, but can be simply enabled going to the extension settings and then tapping on the device name. (Yes, I just found out that the device name was tappable and there were lots of per-device settings, wow)
I guess they consider it a safety thing not to have it on automatically.
