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.

Sorry, I meant optimisations for KDE Connect in particular. It has a persistent notification enabled as well.
It kind of needs that (you can use trucks to make it go away) because of the android model of apps where an app may get yeeted off a cliff if it's not currently showing a notification. Again, you can pull some tricks but for the average user they have to do it this way.
