minus-squarechunkystyles@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoAny software KVM like Synergy. I work from home and Synergy has been a core part of my setup for many years. It lets me use my personal PC and work laptop from one KB+M seamlessly. I’ve tried so many different things. Input Leap, installed on Aurora by default, is supposed to work with Wayland, but doesn’t work out of the box. I’m resigned to using Windows during the week so I can use Synergy and switching back to Linux over the weekend because I prefer it now.

minus-squarechunkystyles@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoI will give that a shot. It definitely looks like it fits the bill. If it works, I love you.

It took a couple tries to get my desktop and laptop connected, and I don’t know why, but it definitely works. I’m going to really miss clipboard sharing, but I can make do for now. I don’t think I mentioned it, but my work laptop is Windows 11, so I’m happy to report that this is working great even on Windows.
