Barrier/Input Leap/other KVM server for Wayland?

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?

Aux,

Erm… Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t the point of KVM is to be a hardware solution so you’re not dependent on whatever crap is running on the machine? Just buy a KVM box or DIY yourself, problem solved.

state_electrician,

No, with Barrier I can use one set of keyboard/mouse seamlessly on multiple machines. I don’t want to manually switch. I just want to drag the mouse across and the clipboard works too.

flashgnash,

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

tun,

In the issue (down the threads), there is a comment saying it is working in Wayland. But user has to compile other libraries also.

state_electrician,

Yeah, I know. And from what I read, it won’t work with wlroots, which means it won’t work for me.

In the same boat. Barrier is the only software holding me back from switching to Wayland.

EDIT: Did come across git.sr.ht/~nickbp/nikau while searching. Looks fairly new. I’m looking for something that supports a Windows server though.

tun,

Another thing for me is transparency blur in composition.

I need my KVM of choice to run on windows, Mac and Linux.

Shit I'm gonna have to keep an eye on this. If he adds MacOS support, it sounds like my perfect solution.

Desperately searching for this myself. Only thing I found was Waynergy on Github, but that requires LibreSSL so no dice.

state_electrician,

Waynergy advertises itself as a client only, so it’s not an option for me either.
