Hi Everyone,

Re: https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Installation

I'm using Kubuntu 20.04.03, x86_64, fully patched. I am new to KDE, but I like
what I see so far. I have a carrier unlocked Pixel 4a in US market. I purchased
the phone from Google. I am not indentured to a carrier.

I do not use app stores, like Google Play or F-Droid. Instead, I download the
app and use 'adb install' to sideload it/install it manually. For example, here
are Firefox [1] and Duo Security [2] apps. (This cuts both ways. I don't give
up my privacy, but I can't use Uber or Lyft because they don't run properly).

My request is, please provide a direct download for KDEConnect. I would like to
try it (without compromising on my privacy by engaging an app store).
