Synergy+

Slick workings, bad UI

    by syphax

When I bring my Windows work laptop home, I can it and my Ubuntu laptop, side by side, from one keyboard/mouse. It's like having dual monitors, except with 2 CPUs and operating systems! I've also used it across 3 machines in the past.

Configuring a server in Windows is a bit counter-intuitive and klunky, but once it's up, it works well. A refresh of the config GUIs would be most welcome.

Ubuntu has a QuickSynergy GUI ... [More] application that works pretty well, though I only use the Ubuntu machine as a client, so I can't comment on configuring a server.

Overall, this is a very slick and very useful application if you have 2+ machines that you'd like to have seamlessly work as one. [Less]
