It’s worth pointing out that the most useful and difficult synchronization is not between desktops, but between mobile device and desktop. Switching to a new machine is hopefully a rare process, but copy and pasting between my iPhone and Mac is a near daily experience. Ditto with sharing open tabs.

Some of the stuff you mentioned seems to cover computer to computer, but isn’t relevant to computer to mobile scenarios.

no, the things I listed are how I sync my linux machines with my mobile phone.

I wasn't talking about computer to computer sync, but the methods I listed (maybe except kdeconnect, which is built for computer to phone sync) apply to workstation to laptop sync aswell.

Actually, all of them (kdeconnect, firefox, nextcloud) have pretty good Android clients
