Best way to create a synchronized experience on multiple devices?


I'm looking for a way to create a synced experience between my linux laptop and desktop. A good example to what I want to try and make would be similar to Handoff/continuity for iOS/MacOS, and Shared Experiences on Windows 10. Is there any software out there that could recreate something similar to those on linux?

if I understand well it existed already a long time ago on unix/linux, just it has a different name and different logic. Would be nice to explain exactly what do you need. (remote execution is quite simple, do you need something else?).

I don't use any of the OSs you mention other than Linux, so am not familiar with those applications. Can you describe more what you are trying to achieve?

I believe NextCloud is the one that is most advanced in providing what you want.

What I’m trying to make is an experience where I can start a application on my laptop and resume it on my desktop and vice versa. Much like Handoff/Shared Experiences on MacOS and Windows 10.

Totally possible on Linux, but you'd need to set that up yourself, I don't think prefab solutions exist.
