Mike Spencer on Nostr: Possibly daft question: I want to connect a desktop and laptop to the same monitor ...
Possibly daft question: I want to connect a desktop and laptop to the same monitor and peripherals. The computers are not in use at the same time and the monitor has dual inputs. Is the cheapest/easiest way to do this a USB switch with manual moving of the audio jack? A KVM seems overkill.
