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
A Ubuntu based personal server
For displays, I have a single double wide 4k monitor
Additionally I have a USB-C hub all my peripherals are connected to.

I have a similar setup and in the end just went for a cheap chinese („ESKEVE“) 4x HDMI 2.0 KVM switch that supports 4K60. No problems except HDR does not work properly, which is not useful on my monitor anyway. Laptops are on USB-C docks with HDMI 2.0 out, PC uses a passive DP to HDMI cable.
