Fairly recently, I saw an app that served the same purpose as Barrier or Input-leap, allowing you use one computer to control the keyboard and cursor of multiple. I’m fairly certain it was designed with GTK 4, or maybe 3, and it had Wayland support. I’ve had no luck getting input-leap working well on my devices, so if anyone knows what app this was (or any other options) I would really appreciate it.

Update: Despite searching for 15 minutes before posting, I found it seconds later, thanks to DDGs reddit bang. It is lan-mouse. Will leave this up in case this software comes in handy for others.

    I know there’s an answer but there are also inexpensive IP KVMs if you wanna go that route.

      I’d love some suggestions. I have a 1440p 32:9 monitor that can act as separate displays, but since Synergy, input-leap, and the other software KVMs don’t work on Wayland, I’m having a bad time :(

            Level1techs tends to go more into the enterprise server side but Wendell always has some gadget to show off.
            I’d also advise to keep an out on the maker space, like raspberryPi or other SBCs, there are inexpensive machines and plenty of guides for various applications which don’t require much Linux knowledge if you’re already doing server stuff.
