From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A simple usb KVM should do the trick of easily switching between the two.
Yes, I have such a device. But I wonder if I can remove it. The less things on my desk, the better. Basically.
Have a look at software KVMs, for a similar functionality.
Wouldn't a "software KVM" just be remote desktop?
No, a software or hardware KVM lets you use the same keyboard and mouse across multiple devices.
Check it this demo if you wish.
Synergy does the K and the M, but not the V.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
