  This is good. Thank you!
  I have added a few comments for making the English sound a little more natural, as well as some little fixes

"already existing" is redundant -- I would just change it to "over your WiFi network" or even just "over WiFi"

> -- Android, by installing the [KDE Connect Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kde.kdeconnect_tp) (also available on [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.kde.kdeconnect_tp)).
> +- Computers running Linux with Plasma 5, Gnome 3, Elementary OS... any distro with a little work :)
> +- Android, by installing the KDE Connect app from the [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kde.kdeconnect_tp) or [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.kde.kdeconnect_tp).

I don't know if we need to add a comment about distro support, but I would change the addition to something like "Any disto which supports Qt 5"
Better to be specific about what "little work" is needed :)

> README.md:20
>  ## How to install
> -This explains how to install KDE Connect on your computer. You will also need to install it in your phone and pair both devices in the app if you want it to be any useful.
> +This explains how to install KDE Connect on your computer. You will also need to install it in your Andriod device and pair it to your computer in the app if you want it to be any useful.
>  

These typos were already here:
"This explains how to install KDE Connect on your computer. You will also need to install it ~~in~~ **on** your Andriod device and pair it to your computer in the app if you want it to be ~~any~~ useful."

But I would actually reword this to:
"These instructions explain how to install KDE Connect on your computer. You will also need to install it on your Andriod device and pair both devices before you can use this app"

(I prefer "pair both devices" vs. "pair it to your computer" because it avoids mirroring "your computer" in both sentences. It sounds more natural to me)

> README.md:31
>  ### On BSD
> -It should work, but no promises :)
> +It might work, but no promises :)
>  

I would leave this sentence as it originally was. "might" means something like "Oh, well, we don't really know" but "should" means "We expect that it will work even though we don't officially support it" (And I think it does work?)

Don't you have to specify that we are channel #kdeconnect __on freenode__? I know almost nothing about IRC 😂
