Recommend a KVM or Switch - Blåhaj Lemmy

Hello all, I’m looking for a switch/kvm for my home setup. ive been through a few tries and none of them have worked for one reason or another. I have two machines, A windows 11 work laptop - USB-C out, both USB and display port. - HDMI out - USB 2.0 out A Ubuntu based personal server - Displayport out - USB-C out (no Displayport) For displays, I have a single double wide 4k monitor Additionally I have a USB-C hub all my peripherals are connected to.

I tried a USB KVM switcher. I only recall there were serious issues and it didn’t last long.

Now I use a high quality USB dock and physically unplug/re-replug a work and personal laptop. That’s been a simple and reliable solution.

For my home server, I ssh into it.
