Total aside.
Has anyone found an alternative to Synergy? Its the last thing that's anchoring me to X11.
The Synergy team has been saying for years they'll support Wayland but no release has been made, I'm a paid customer.
- SushiHippie 2y agoIIRC by design applications can't get the absolute mouse pointer position in wayland, so something like Synergy probably is not easy to do in Wayland without 'hacks'.
- ChocolateGod 2y agoIsn't that something libei is designed to solve?
- SushiHippie 2y agoHave never heard of it, but seems like it should solve that
- paulryanrogers 2y agoDo any Synergy forks like Barrier do it?
- filereaper 2y agoBarrier was abandoned and no contributions are made IIRC.
- legobmw99 2y agoThe closest I’ve found in terms of description is https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse, but the lack of encryption on the connection has discouraged me from using it. I’m also a paid Synergy user, and it’s frankly comedic how long Wayland support has been on their road map. I’m not convinced it’s ever coming, which means I’m probably only 1-2 distro updates from being forced to use something else
- filereaper 2y agoI'm in the same boat.
- legobmw99 2y agoSynergy core (aka synergy 1) just had Wayland support merged this week. “Next year” has finally come to pass
