    I started on Bazzite as my first real Linux desktop. After a while I rebased to Aurora (Bluefin but KDE instead of Gnome) and I really liked it. I ended up rebasing back to Bazzite for a while.

    My only issue is around a very specific piece of software that has issues with Wayland. That’s why all the rebasing.

    Being able to rebase so easily like that is so freaking cool.

        Any software KVM like Synergy.

        I work from home and Synergy has been a core part of my setup for many years.

        It lets me use my personal PC and work laptop from one KB+M seamlessly.

        I’ve tried so many different things. Input Leap, installed on Aurora by default, is supposed to work with Wayland, but doesn’t work out of the box.

        I’m resigned to using Windows during the week so I can use Synergy and switching back to Linux over the weekend because I prefer it now.

            Update: I love you.

            It took a couple tries to get my desktop and laptop connected, and I don’t know why, but it definitely works.

            I’m going to really miss clipboard sharing, but I can make do for now.

            I don’t think I mentioned it, but my work laptop is Windows 11, so I’m happy to report that this is working great even on Windows.

              Are you aware of KDE connect? It can do clipboard sync, and more. Also available on Windows.
