Dug in the manpages to find that middle mouse is key to adding workspaces in fluxbox. I had forgotten that button since I hardly need it in XFce which is my main DE & KDE wich I started reusing after having left a couple of decades

Since this command...
`xfce4-screenshooter -S -d 2 --window -s "$HOME/Pictures/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)_Screenshot2.png"`
...segfaults in fluxbox I did not bother with a screenshot

At this moment I'm roughly tuning a very nice FluxBox Desktop in in OpenSource POSIX driven OS.
I'm working on tuning my Desktops Environments in such a way that it doesn't matter whether I run them in Linux or *BSD
That way I'll just fire up the Operating System inject my own configuration for the desktop environment fire up X.org and then start working
FluxBox has been a favorite window / desktop manager of mine a couple of decades ago.
Since it has been written efficient it's blazingly fast

KDEConnect is a powerful piece of connection software. Even when you only bounce off the Android client with your Androids (plural) you will enjoy the program. I can see that a of lot coding time (not difficult for a seasoned programmer) and debugging effort (can be tedious if you have no alpha / beta testers) has been put into the code.
KDE Connect celebrated 10 years in 2023, now its 12, so quite mature for software. Esp opensource.
Problems connecting Linux (or any other) often mean that your distro maintainer did something unexpected (IMHO stupid) by enabling an fw pointing to your LAN (sick!) with all incoming ports blocked.
- Blocked ports on LANs DONT enhance security, and give flase sense of superiour security.
- Not stating that explicitly on the installer of the fw (default base install!) means searching to and fro, since the fw pointing local, will be checked rudimentary to last, wasting brain cycles
The moment fw errors have been terminated (T2) your desktop client will work without a hitch, doing handshaking and later functions, which you enable one by one.
Android client has accross the board an unfightable problem which is powermgmt regardless of flags put for 24/7 background operation. Esp cheap Xiaomis have that. The ones of EUR 175 (USD same) to EUR 1200, have less of that esp the near and full flagships.
It's unfightable untill you remove Android OS and replace with a flash on your phone.
Im having fun with Android client

For now I've removed KDE Connect from the miniPC
I shall study the manpages online and then decide if the program is worth the 24MB extra on tha machine. I love what the Android client does so that will go on all of my Androids, because its just handy

However handshaking with either Android has failed with the desktop. The network of all devices is the same, no VLANs defined so they should see eachother fine
I see this empty screen so I'll need to read the manpages on KDEConnect Linuix to see which switches I need to use so it sees the Androids which are already happily chatting with eachother

Up to now I've had a plug-play results with KDE connect on two of my Androids regarding handshaking & discovery.
On the desktop which runs XFCE (Ill correct the main toot) the demands were **hefty** on the dependencies (24MB using gnome's libs for their filemanager which also pulled the required KDE libs in)

Can I use KDE connect without installing KDE as my desktop manager?
On The machine in question, a miniPC, I have XFce (not {Openbox} or FluxBox) as the DesktopManager, running MX Linux on the metal
KDE Connect (KDE Connect integrates your smartphone and computer)
My absolute baller Fluxbox theme. Love it. The wallpaper is my favourite haha. #WindowsNeverLookedSoGood #fluxbox #Theme #linux
