Two Computers, One Monitor, Zero Fiddling
Alex Plescan describes setting up a dual-computer workstation using one MSI MPG 321URX monitor with built-in KVM functionality, allowing seamless switching between a Mac laptop and a Linux desktop without physically changing cables. By leveraging Display Data Channel (DDC) commands and software like m1ddc on macOS and ddcutil on Linux, he enables keyboard shortcuts to switch the monitor’s input source instantly, eliminating the need to touch the monitor or peripherals.
