Hi HN, from your own experience, has the experience of integrating your phone (iPhone and Android both) with Linux improved in the last 4 years? Specifically copy/pasting seamlessly and transferring files. I use these features 10+ times a day for work and kinda non-negotiable. Before I moved to Apple ecosystem, I used PushBullet and it was a pain, Apple's integration is much better in terms of friction. I'd also tried KDEConnect, but found it to be extremely flaky.

I'm due to upgrade my MacBook and can't help but feel like a fool for agreeing to being fleeced for Apple's memory and storage nonsense, even if affordability is not an issue. Also I'd like to not depend on one company so much. My only reservation is phone integration story on Linux; is it possible to get it close to Apple's version? I don't mind putting in the work to set things up initially, as long as it can be relied upon in a pinch going forward.

Thanks!
