This Linux user likes this Windows app making me finally appreciate Windows !!! (Phone link)

Hi folks
I find this app more and more indispenisble particularly if you have a microphone on your computer as well - the Phone Link.

You can have your phone located anywhere within blu tooth range and say in another room on charge and while on a laptop / main computer use the phone screen to use phone / make / receive calls, use phone apps etc.

Works brilliantly with S21 Samsung( old phone and) S26 Samsung new phone on Windows 26H2 experimental version - just click the phone screen when you open the menu (click the Windows logo on your taskbar)

E.g (am in UK currently so here's the screenshot). Phone has dual esim - vodaphone and SKY so reasonable 5G coverage in places I've been to - just switch to best reception as London particularly has appallingly bad connections in part but good in other areas -- totally random it seems !!!! which for a major capital city isn't that great .




To make the app even better it would be great if the camera app could use say any webcam you might have on the computer as an alternative to the phone's cameras (although of course the phone cameras will be hugely better - certainly on more modern phones). Would also be great if it could handle say more than 1 phone concurrently - but this app is worth it enough for me to keep Windows !!! especially as it works on a VM too without problems.

I'm using a laptop Host OS linux( Fedora pre-rel F46 KDE desktop) , Windows build on a KVM/QEMU VM is :
