The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to “cut the middle man” and just plug/unplug my linux machine.

I guess I can use a remote desktop solution approach on my laptop, but I wonder if there is a more “extreme” solution. Mostly since I have only one Ethernet port in my home office.

    Some monitors like the Dell U4323qe have a KVM built in, the KVM does Ethernet too.

      Wow, TIL. Would it allow for another screen to be connected to it? That’d be pretty cool.

        I have never tired Daisy Chaining but I hear it exists on some of the models not sure about the specific one I linked.
