TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are begging beginning to work on Wayland support.

      Check the input leap project. While I haven’t tested it myself, Wayland support got added like a year ago. You still needed to rebuild some packages, but reading the issue tracker now it seems to have gone a long way.

      Unfortunately it is still not considered production ready. At this point I assume they will have it implemented and ready way before synergy though.

          I am aware, but check the referenced issues. Support has been merged like a year ago and at least gnome on Wayland should work out of the box. It’s incomplete, but it should be working

          Also barrier is considered abandoned at this point the previous maintainers forked it which actually is leap input.

      Yeah, as mentioned earlier: that is an application that directly works with X to interact with the mouse cursor. It needs to be updated or rewritten. No alternative to that, I’m afraid.
