Is there a way for linux to display caller id?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
After switching to linux, one thing i miss is something called phonetray, which displayed caller ID to my screen. I wondered if there is a way for Linux to do something similar.
I found a blog discussing NCID and call blocking here.
Is there a way to use NCID and have the caller ID display for a brief time on screen?

Yes.
linux-caller-id listens to what's coming from a modem on the landline receiving the call. It requires the installation of libQtCore4 and libQtGui4, a la sudo apt-get install libQtCore4 libQtGui4 before it can be added to your system.
If you are receiving calls on a cellphone, you can add Pushbullet to numerous browsers (Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, and Opera) to get an onscreen pop-up with the caller ID data. And, if you have an Android phone, you can add an app on it to block identified spammeristas, which has worked well for me.
