PinePhone – KDE Community edition

This is great news.

Biggest question: Can I send SMS, on this phone, from another computer?

The biggest reason I ditched my iPhone for Android was the excellent implementation of in-browser messaging, to and from my phone, on any computer with a web browser.

I don't need to be able to text from "any computer with a web browser", but if I could send SMS from Win / Mac / Linux machines that I owned, that would be a huge incentive for me to give this platform a shot.

You can use KDE Connect[1] for send SMS from a Win / Mac or Linux machine. This also works with Android.

There is KDE Connect. You can easily respond to texts from that.

Barring that, sending a text is a simple one-liner in the terminal. Worst case, you can just run the command via ssh or whatever other workflow you may want.
