Hey there. So I'm currently using two laptops (one is Windows 10 the other is Zorin OS which is based on ubuntu). Windows seems to be working fine? at least I'm not getting any errors except that it tries to connect for a while but then after being unable to find a host it prints out that it wasn't able to resolve a host.

The ports are set to 4242 on both laptops and I made sure they are open on the firewalls for both laptops. Zorin definitely uses wayland because I've tried other tools similar to this one (like synergy) and had issues as they don't work with wayland on synergy I even got the error stating it is incompatible with wayland and if i go on my settings's "about" tab it clearly states it uses wayland.

I have also installed the dependencies mentioned on the github page. But it still won't connect. I am leaving the terminal log down below if that helps.

Unfortunately not all Wayland is created equal.
I'm currently working on libei support. When that's done, zorin os should work on the sending side. As of version 0.6, windows and gnome (I believe zorin os is using a modified version of gnome) are both not supported.

Clarification: I mean not supported on the sending side. Receiving / input emulation works. So that's what you are seeing.

Ah I see. That explains it. I will keep an eye on it for updates then thanks for the clarification
