You certainly can. I think part of this perception comes from this idea that you’re stuck with the same desktop environment or utilities that came with the system, whereas on Linux you can completely reinstall things you didn’t even know were options from the Windows World.
For example, I can run Gnome and use the KDE connect application if I want to.
To some users, if the system doesn’t recommend the use case or hold your hand through it, they confuse that with being impossible.
The article states that you can’t link your phone to Linux Mint like you can on Windows or Mac.
Huh?
Bullshit
KDE connect has finally been working well for years now
I wouldn’t say bullshit
KDE connect is fairly obscure
Comes by default on KDE.
The article in question is about Linux Mint
Its been a while since I had mint, but I remember Mint coming with KDE, as I’ve never used anything but KDE
I don’t believe it has ever shipped KDE
I believe it has as I have used it and I have never used anything that was not KDE
