        I would like to connect my Ubuntu phone and Ubuntu laptop, to make calls using my computer headset.

        There are programs like HFP for Linux (https://nohands.sourceforge.net/) that might give me this hands free experience, but that is an unmaintained program with a lot of dependency issues when trying to install on 24.04, and not designed for Ubtouch as such. It would be really nice to make calls, write SMS, access address book etc from my laptop when my phone is connected. I'm also using GSConnect, but that has a limited feature set. It's not so important whether the connection is through USB or Bluetooth, as long as the functionality can be achieved.

        Are there other options?

          @Kjetil May be https://open-store.io/app/mirvncserver.abmyii could be useful in you use case.
          Not sure it works with Noble though.
