As someone who used to work on Synergy I can assure you that building a .deb or .rpm that works across as many distros as possible is a royal pita.
Around about the time I was working on it half the distros users wanted to use were on OpenSSL 1.0 and the other half on 1.1.1. even Debian and Ubuntu were split due to their release cycles being different.
Also, Linux support was never a priority for the company. You should probably save your money and just use Barrier, a FOSS fork.

I don't disagree. > You should probably save your money and just use Barrier, a FOSS fork. Synergy has worked for my needs and so I paid for it. How does Barrier differ?
