Synergy 1 + Waynergy on Omarchy Arch Linux (Hyprland Wayland Setup)

Overview

After many hours of testing, trying:

• Synergy 3 on macOS and Linux
• Flatpak builds
• AUR variants
• Deskflow and other alternatives

I finally landed on a combo that actually works well on Wayland with Hyprland:

• macOS (server): Synergy 1
• Arch Linux (client): Waynergy
• Desktop: Omarchy / Hyprland
• Backend: wlr
• Keyboard fix: using Waynergy raw-keymap instead of xkb

Mouse was perfect from the start. The hard part was the keyboard, especially the letters A, E, R and the Command / Option keys from the Mac mapping correctly on the Arch client.

The final working solution uses:

• Hyprland’s own keyboard map (wl_keyboard_map = true)
• Synergy key codes (syn_raw_key_codes = true)
• A custom [raw-keymap] section

Omarchy Setup Dual boot and Auto-login (manual installation)

Overview

This guide walks through setting up Arch Linux manually with:

• No LUKS (to enable autologin)
• limine as the bootloader
• Larger /boot partition to accommodate multiple kernels
• Dual boot with Windows 11
• Omarchy desktop environment (curl -fsSL https://omarchy.org/install | bash)
• VFIO passthrough using AMD iGPU + NVIDIA RTX 4090
• Snapshots via BTRFS (optional)

Fedora Workstation Setup

Here are some of my notes for my Fedora 42 workstation and VM gaming environment. Happy hacking!

Cleaning Fedora Workstation

After months of daily use, testing software, and general tinkering, my Fedora Workstation setup continues to be reliable and solid.

Fedora has become my go-to distro for development, desktop productivity, and gaming. Running Hyprland (specifically ML4W Hyprland), it’s fast, modern, and refreshingly stable.
