Android is a Linux based OS but trying to copy a PDF from Android to Linux via cable is rocket science. Why Google, whyyyyyy α(`ββΰ±ͺβββ΅α)

linux needs airdrop and better wifi p2p tech in general
Have you triedβ¦
We talked about it in the thread π I tried with different devices but it never worked for me
Aww, boo.
It will also always be slower than wifi direct
Or just tethering with USB. Even this is too complicated. You have to choose a mode?? Seriously? What is this, 95? π
FWIW, I just tried between two machines: one running Arch (btw) and another running Ubuntu. It worked flawlessly and quickly.
When Localsend works, its like butter.
When Localsend device A does not discover and see device B on the same network and vice versa I am at a loss.

pretty solid option [most] of the time
avahi works fine for printers also
Use syncthing. Never have to worry about dumb stuff like that.
I do! Extensively tbh, it's my go to backup solution π©· syncthing is one of the best pieces of software I know. But that file was in a non-synced folder π
Yeah I could move it... Still not satisfied with the defaults
Linux and Android are so close but so far, and I get it... But dropping a copy of a pdf into another folder just makes it easy! π
Syncthing is even better with #NixOS π all my nixos devices are written down in config, so I don't even have to set up folders again when reinstalling. Keys, devices and folder IDs hardcoded and backed up. Install once, never repeat π this step significantly leveled up my syncthing use π€π»
Syncthing is so damn good
