I'm using this solution atm. Works quite well except the barrier server on Linux is buggy and I need to frequently restart it.

Some ex barrier people cloned (as opposed to forking) the barrier repo and are continuing development on it. It's called input-leap.

yeah, but even they recommend using barrier right? It's strange situation where the maintainers left the project to work on a project without users. It makes sense from a developer perspective though.

I had the opposite impression. They were frustrated that the project owner was not responsive enough but also unwilling to hand over the project. Frankly it looked like a hostileish take over attempt but they don't seem to have any visibility so it didn't seem to have worked. At least a year or so ago it looked like that.
