hacktoberfest-swag-list VS barrier

MASTER LIST- Check out https://hacktoberfestswaglist.com/. This project culminates the above and many more orgs that are going above and beyond this hacktoberfest! You can get tons of swags from these orgs!!

https://hacktoberfest-swag.com/ and https://hacktoberfestswaglist.com/ are good resources when it comes to finding some companies that provide swag. These are also hacktoberfest accepted repositories that you can contribute to on Github.

So I hurriedly went through all exciting Companies mentioned on Hacktoberfest Official Page (Not for the Swags.. No.. No.. Off course not!! 🤫) And lucky for me I got assigned my first issue by AppWrite!!

We have reached the 2nd half of Hacktoberfest. This year, the event is super hyped with plenty of swags from different communities in addition to the cool tee/tree that you would get from Digital Ocean ⚡️ While all of these are motivations for you to get started for Hacktoberfest, the act of working on open source contributions is another story altogether 😥

For software KVM you can use https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

I use it between a Windows PC & a Macbookpro (Linux version available but I don't have Linux)

libei looks useful. But IDK why libei is necessary to run Barrier with Wayland?

For client systems, couldn't there just be a virtual /dev/inputXYZ that Barrier forwards events through

And for host systems, it looks like xev only logs input events when the window is focused.

Is xeyes still broken on Wayland, and how to fix it so that it would work with Barrier?

With Barrier, when the mouse cursor reaches a screen boundary, the keyboard and mouse input are then passed to a different X session on another box until the cursor again crosses a screen boundary rule.

Barrier is a fork of Synergy's open core: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

libei:

I have a similar gaming/WFH setup (2 monitors at 1440p 144hz) and I’ve been using Barrier instead of a physical kvm, and it works really well. Not sure if you’re open to a software kvm but if you are, I’m happy to answer any questions about it if you have any.

Have you tried Barrier? I casually used it to swap between my main rig and my MBP. Took a minute to get it setup but once I sorted it all out it worked pretty well. It has some settings and tweaks built in to address some of the layout issues you mentioned...

Barrier appears to handle PC switching only for the keyboard and mouse.

Sorry, probably not entirely on topic and can't answer anything reliable about the multimonitor stuff, but a tip regarding the 2 mice and 2 keyboards for the 2 different computers: use this: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier It's oss multi-os software that lets you use one mouse and keyboard (server) on several PCs (clients) easily over your LAN.

Barrier is a free and open source alternative.
