Multiplicity4 for Linux ?

from WinCustomize Forums

Any chance Multiplicity 4 is in the works (or at least under consideration) for a Linux client?

I have several PC's that don't make the cut for a Win 11 upgrade, (older CPU's, even though they satisfy all the actual technical requirements), so I'll probably install Fedora or Debian on them.

The only other comparable solution I've found is Synergy, but it doesn't work reliably under Wayland, which seems to be the direction Linux is going for Window Managers.

I would also very much like to see Multiplicty work for both Windows & Linux as I run both myself.  Synergy works for seamless, but lacks the KVM features.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I got to wondering about this again, what with all the major problems that Win11 patches are causing. (The boiling pot is finally getting too hot for me.) But I have some applications that I might still need a Windows machine for, so I was hoping to be able to use Multiplicity to connect from a main Linux box to a Windows box.

Back on September 21st, Stardock announced that M4 is available on Steam. Steam runs on Linux, and it uses Proton to run games. I haven't tested this yet, but I'm wondering if Steam might be a workaround for something like Multiplicity. If so, maybe WINE would work as a non-Steam middleman.

Kinda sucks that we'd have to resort to middleman software, but it is what it is.

I'd like to add my name to the list of people hoping to see Multiplicity be compatible with Linux (even if just for the Secondary computer).

Add my vote for Linux Client support for Multiplicity.  This seems to be the right time for it.  Windows 11 causes lots of folks to switch their older computers to Linux and similarly pushing more gaming systems to Linux.  At the same time, Steam has been hard at work making gaming easier on Linux.

+1 for this request. Linux support will be awesome, just the client side is enough.

By client do you mean as a secondary? or as a primary?
