Try some debian or antix they go well with older stuff. I have a old 2015 laptop. I run gnome debian 12. Ran antix prior. Its pretty solid.

The installers come with gui partition stuff so don’t worry.

You can do user to user transfer. I will try and simplify it.

1. Make a folder with same name on two devices.
2. Connect them using scanner code in web app or app.
3. Make sure to keep source as sender and be able make changes. While receiver should only recieve and do no changes.
4. Copy file to the folder and it will be sent to reciever.

Afterwards you can remove the file from folder and receiver can also move it elsewhere to view.

Once set up is very easy to send. Its ok ask away if you got any doubts.

No its pretty good for both. You can transfer large files pretty well without any break. I don’t know what your grievance is. It is solid for file transfer.

Syncthing is for making backups from a source and keep copies in several devices. Its very solid to send large files. It syncs any changes to files in the source to the backup locations.

Syncthing is the only decent one I used. Kde connect is wonky.

Localsend is pretty bad.

Other commenter already pointed to shotcut. I second that. I used it for a long time its solid. So is kdenlive. Check em out.
