One thing I like about X is I can run x2x over ssh to move my mouse pointer and keyboard control from my laptop to my rpi-hooked-to-a-TV.
So I can watch stuff on the TV, and when I want to choose a new thing I just mouse past the edge of my laptop screen and now I'm mousing and typing on the rpi.
Is this currently possible under Wayland with stock Ubuntu and stock Raspbian?
- edgyquant 5y agoLast time I tried (admittedly a couple years ago) this was not possible with wayland
- pak9rabid 5y agoThis sounds vary familiar to Synergy. If you're familiar with that project, would you say this (x2x) is better?
- biomcgary 5y agoI loved Synergy, but it has gone commercial, so I use Barrier, which forked from one of the last free commits. Works well across Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.
- jancsika 5y agoFrom Barrier's github repo[1]: > We will also have our eye on Wayland when the time comes. Every time I've inquired about $simple_x11_thing for Wayland I find smells like this one. Does Barrier work under Wayland, or not? 1: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
