In the same boat. Barrier is the only software holding me back from switching to Wayland.
EDIT: Did come across https://git.sr.ht/~nickbp/nikau while searching. Looks fairly new. I'm looking for something that supports a Windows server though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Shit I'm gonna have to keep an eye on this. If he adds MacOS support, it sounds like my perfect solution.
Another thing for me is transparency blur in composition.
I need my KVM of choice to run on windows, Mac and Linux.
Erm... Pardon my ignorance, but isn't the point of KVM is to be a hardware solution so you're not dependent on whatever crap is running on the machine? Just buy a KVM box or DIY yourself, problem solved.
No, with Barrier I can use one set of keyboard/mouse seamlessly on multiple machines. I don't want to manually switch. I just want to drag the mouse across and the clipboard works too.
Experience on barrier is much nicer and smoother than on a KVM switch
For instance, you have a PC and a laptop, you can drag the mouse off the left side of the monitor onto the laptop and use the mouse/kB there seamlessly
In the issue (down the threads), there is a comment saying it is working in Wayland. But user has to compile other libraries also.
Yeah, I know. And from what I read, it won't work with wlroots, which means it won't work for me.
Desperately searching for this myself. Only thing I found was Waynergy on Github, but that requires LibreSSL so no dice.
Waynergy advertises itself as a client only, so it's not an option for me either.
