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.

    That is what I do. I have owned like 4 kvm switches. Even when I paid extra to get a “good” one they never lasted more than like a year or two. My USB switch has been going for about 3 years. Occasionally it glitches out and I have to unplug it from everything but it’s only about every 3-5 months
