The wiki hasn&amp;#x27;t been updated in 6 years, so I assume it&amp;#x27;s not viable in modern Ubuntu?</text></comment>

I was mentally practicing sharing my 32 inch screen with my wife when she complains about screen real estate inequality in the house - hers is surface pro - but never come close to solving keyboard and mouse sharing.</text></comment>
