App to send texts from computer?
Other
Back when I was using an iPhone XR and a hackintosh, I really liked being able to use iMessage to send texts from my computer, but after only about 3 months I went back to Android because the iPhone XR has been the worst phone I have ever owned, and now I don't use macOS anymore. Is there any app to send texts on my android phone from my computer?
I don't mind rooting, but would prefer without root if possible.
My phone is a Google Pixel 6 running Android 14 (stock ROM), my computer is running Debian 12.

Link to windows. Should find it in your settings on your Android. Install it on you PC from the Windows store. Can use it to receive texts, calls, transfers pictures, etc...
As mentioned in the post, I use Linux, not Windows.
Google Messages has a web interface
https://messages.google.com/web/
I know about KDE Connect, but don't know what features it has. Maybe that'll work for you.
Tasker on your Android, curl on your Linux.
Tasker can run a web interface that you can issue webhook calls to. Tasker can send and receive SMS. Could even make a small HTML page to display received texts.
Mighty text is Google but limits sends to 15 per month on free app. Paid app is expensive so I am looking for similar service from Android to Win10
Are you using Google Messages? Then it has a web interface.
If you're using something else, not sure if AirDroid has a Linux version.
+1 for KDE Connect, but you might look at MAXS.
