Instal it from snap store

Snap Store app | Kali Linux
☑ Commands:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y snapd
$ sudo systemctl enable --now snapd apparmor
$ sudo snap install snap-store
$ sudo nano /home/username/.zshrc
export PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin
$ source /home/username/.zshrc
$ init 6

Please try Deskflow or Input Leap as Barrier is no longer in development.

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow
https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

Both are compatible with Barrier client/server so you can try on one of your computers.

If this is still an issue in those projects, we would appreciate a cross-post of this issue.

Not sure which to use? The 'Insights' tab of each project may help you decide.
