What was the software Linus recommended that lets you use the same keyboard/mouse across multiple computers on your desk?

Thank you

Synergy

Synergy (version 1 and 2). They have sponsored some content of their's too.

Do you own research to see if it's actually good, last I read version 2 was a mess and version 1 had some issues.

Thanks guys! Any alternative to Synergy that you guys tested and liked?

ShareMouse is the one i used for a while now, it's free, and for a basic user, works perfectly fine! https://www.sharemouse.com/

synergy2 is garbage but synergy1 lags a little sometimes or freezes once in a while  but it works and i use it on  debian to windows 10 to win7 and centos.

Another alternative is Barrier

I used to use the Microsoft Garage app Mouse Without Borders. It worked well, but I haven’t had a need to use it for a few years now.

I passed on Synergy and went with Logitech Flow. I'd preferred if I could use my Apple keyboard instead of Logitech, so still looking for an alternative. Barrier looks interesting, will try it.
