New to Linux, I am on Ubuntu 24.04.

I am trying to have my phone calls go from my phone to my laptop. I did some online searching and found KDE connect. I can recieve and send texts on KDE connect but can’t call

Am I doing something wrong or should I use something else?

Thanks for reading

    First, there’s often no choice, it’s SMS 2FA or no 2FA. Personally I would prefer no 2FA at all because, as mentioned, I’m doing this all on desktop. The attacker would need physical access to my encrypted computer. Not happening.

      Nah, its less secure with SMS as its frequently used a s a backdoor to replace your first factor.

      You do have a choice, email their security team and tell them why you’re closing your account.

      If its SMS, they dont need access to your desktop because they can either sniff it on the network or social engineer the provider. SMS is less secure than nothing.
