From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i find it very useful and would like to know if there is an implementation for it on xfce, as well as how it performs.

Im pretty sure the app works everywhere but i think you need additional software for a status indicator

It does, and I've never seen kdeconnect-indicator packaged separately. I'm pretty sure it depends on some KDE packages though, so maybe OP wants to avoid installing them for some reason.

I used it on i3wm without problems. Just install and use it

I use it for seeing/replying to texts on my desktop. It works great for that with xfce.

Gsconnect is the gnome version; I think that's how I had it working on xfce

You will almost certainly be able to use KDE Connect under Xfce. However, some dependencies will most likely be installed during the installation, which in turn have their own dependencies. With a bit of bad luck, you will install half of Plasma, so to speak.

KDE's documentation mentions indicator-kdeconnect for using it with other environments, but it hasn't been updated in 4 years. Might still work, might not.
