Barrier: Open-Source KVM Software
There is an actively developed fork https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap, however that fork is still undergoing heavy development and recommends sticking with Barrier until they're able to release v3.0.0 which they expect rather soon.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
barrier is basically a dead project now. The active members of the project forked it and are going to release when ready but

Keep an eye on that for anything new

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
There's a new fork of barrier called input leap (not to be confused with the leap motion), https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap with work on getting Wayland support in shape. Not sure how far the support is atm, but the gnome 45 release notes mentioned "Wayland support for Input Leap" (https://release.gnome.org/45/)

What do you think of Smart KVM as a feature on a monitor?
I wonder if I would be better off just buying a LG monitor without the Smart KVM, and instead using Barrier (or, Input Leap, which seems to be maintained actively compared to Barrier https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap)
- Barrier-like KVM for XWayland and MacOS
-
KVM but only mouse and keyboard
Could also be worth mentioning that Barrier is basically unmaintained at this point so you'll probably never get Wayland support there. The maintainers (apparently the owner of the debauchee/barrier dropped off the face of the earth) of Barrier forked it and migrated to input-leap (issue with details if interested) which is where all development is presently, although they haven't made a release yet.

Sunshine/Parsec alternatives?
I'm already using waynergy with input-leap as my main way to control the laptop when it is docked. It is amazing.
sway
- Sway is an i3-compatible Wayland compositor
- Sway 1.9 Release
- Sway 1.9

"We understand" ;)
This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

Firefox on the Brink?
I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.
I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

Sourcing dot profile on sway starutp
I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

Option to not scale xwindow clients still out of the question?
So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

What Desktop Environment or Window Manager do you use on your Arch Linux System and why?
I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.
-
On Desktop GUI Minimalism
Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway
From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
