    Back in the XP days, you could download a OS skin called System47. It turns the desktop into LCARS with voice commands.

      While doing the world building for a very Trek-inspired story I’ll probably never finish, (I’d originally planned the story ad a Star Trek fanfic, but later chose to make its own universe), I jokingly claimed the ship’s computer of the AAS Alan Turing was running something like Linux 126 LTS in ~2500.

      (I have to have my organization call starships “aero ships” in the story because my organization is called A.M.P.E.D, and I don’t think I could take the acronym of “AMPED Star Ship” seriously.)

    //I tried it with my SO’s android and it worked flawlessly so it’s an iOS issue :/

    I’d appreciate some help from the Linux folks. I’ve used Unified Remote with my living room PC for years and years. I was told that KDE Connect was a drop in replacement but the remote input has a 1-2 second delay from touching my phone screen to the cursor moving. Any way to correct that?

    iPhone and Bazzite for context. It also did it with regular Fedora. I imagine it has to do with iOS but I looked up the issue and I haven’t seen a real solution.

      Another thought to consider, but not the first one to consider. If a software behaves differently than another there is a decent chance it is how it is coded and not just how it is configured. If you can’t get a reasonable latency then you get to experience the real power of Linux. Options. Someone has experienced the same thing as you and has coded a real solution. When it comes to the name brands (KDE, GNOME, ect), you will see ironically the broadest range in quality. But if you go on the AUR you will find software that does one job an one job only. The only way that software gets know is if it works and works well.

      I’d try these next:
      https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anyremote
      https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/unified-remote-server

      Integration with a DE is for Apple people.
