Looking for options to send SMS from Gnome desktop.
I’ve been using google’s browser based app, but obviously would like to use something that is not google dependent.
I’ve tried gsconnect. I need to give it a good go but my initial findings are disappointing. If this is what others are doing then I’ll stick with it.
I thought there would be some way to view the android ui from my phone, on my gnome desktop but that doesn’t seem to be a thing.
You’re shooting down good suggestions here, so I’m not sure if you don’t fully understand the problem, or are asking for the moon.
Are you wanting to send SMS from a specific device and SIM, or just ANY kind of SMS?
SMS is controlled from your provider. If you want to send from said provider, you need a device or app that can access their network. T-Mobile has a browser-based interface for this, and I think Mint does as well. Otherwise you need to get an SMS provider with an API to interact with, like Twilio, VoIP.ms, or similar.
Sorry where am I shooting down good suggestions?
Honestly you sound like you don’t understand the problem.
The first comment, scrcpy, is pretty much the answer.
