Because compiz. No, seriously.
I got to know Linux back in 2006 in a hackathon-type-of-thing at uni and they gave me a Ubuntu 5.10 CD and my jaw dropped with the cube animation thing.
Ended wiping my hard drive trying to install it, finally could install it, tried XFCE for a time, went back to GNOME, was tired of Ubuntu and tried Gentoo and somehow could install it, with the GNOME3 drama moved to KDE, considered FreeBSD for a moment just to realize pkg/pkgsrc is absolute shit compared to Portage.
Oh and it seems KDE went back with the cube for Plasma 6! Alas it’s still masked in Gentoo and who knows when it would be ready, but it’s a bit great I’m not the only one for that cube nostalgia.
Thirded one on the xperia line. Previous to this 1ii that it’s being with me for 3 years and a half, I had a Z1 that lasted 7 years with me until fell off my hands and the screen cracked.
That being said, their software support is shit and I ended rooting them and using LineageOS (I even had a MIUI ROM with the Z1 at one point) so that’s something you have to have in mind. LineageOS on the 1ii is good, better battery life than stock but I lost screen mirroring.
I suspect @mox is confused somehow - as far as I know, KDEConnect does not provide any system service interface so systemd can handle it. It all happens in the KDE user session.
I know this because I don’t use systemd and have KDEConnect working and autolaunching here.
