I really want to use Wayland, but the lack of a Wayland-based KVM sharing tool is an absolute deal breaker for me. I tried so many of them, but none worked. Waynergy looks alright, but it’s only a client. rkvm didn’t work at all and I don’t remember the names of the other tools I tried. I know that Input Leap/Barrier has met their donation goal for Wayland support, but I am not holding my breath that it’ll work with wlr.

Has anyone gotten KVM sharing to work with a Wayland host and other Linux clients?

    Experience on barrier is much nicer and smoother than on a KVM switch

    For instance, you have a PC and a laptop, you can drag the mouse off the left side of the monitor onto the laptop and use the mouse/kB there seamlessly
