Hi,

Sadly, it appears that doing this requires skills way overy limit. But maybe this would be useful for you.

Yes, you got it right.

Thanks for the answer, I suspected that this would be the case from the suggestions, but thanks for explaining.

I saw that someone did that, but it's too much of digging into his explanation for me to manage to do it.

There's a work computer and a home computer. I don't want my work files ending up on my own computer (for confidentiality reasons) and I don't want my porn viruses ending up on my work laptop.

There are two issues here:

  1. I have only one monitor
  2. I would like to avoid the risk of copying files between the computer

It's a standard Windows machine. It has a ssh.

I have a docking station, or better said KVM, connected to the monitor, keyboard etc. Currently, I'm switching the KVM between the laptop and the desktop machine using a USB C. I wonder if there is a way for me to turn my desktop into a KVM.

Sadly, no. Since I don't want to install anything on the work laptop. On my own machines, this would have been the solution

Yes, I have such a device. But I wonder if I can remove it. The less things on my desk, the better. Basically.

 

The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to "cut the middle man" and just plug/unplug my linux machine.

I guess I can use a remote desktop solution approach on my laptop, but I wonder if there is a more "extreme" solution. Mostly since I have only one Ethernet port in my home office.

Sure they can "Wendy's lunch menu, up to X" or "Wendy's night snack, as low as Y"
