When you use the KDE Desktop Environment it will also show notifications from your phone and sync media controls (e.g. stop playback when you get a phone call). It's great!
Now if the remote mouse control could show a 128x128 area of the screen under the mouse pointer on the phone...Sure I could get my ass up and read what the video title is then but... No.
This is by no means exclusive to KDE, though. Notifications and media control does work on other desktop environments as well (at least it does on XFCE), though media control has to be done inside the KDE connect app.
