tinypilot VS pikvmx86

I make one that I put a lot of effort into documenting:

https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot

It's pretty easy to extend since it's just Python and vanilla HTML/JS/CSS, so there's not much of a toolchain to install.

You can buy it pre-made for $399 or make a DIY one for under $100.

Took me awhile to remember what it was called, but TinyPilot [^0] by mtlynch is pretty cool. Michael sometimes writes about running a hardware business on his blog [^1].

https://tinypilotkvm.com is a great option for this.

Flash the microSD with Raspberry Pi OS Lite, and then install the free, Community edition of TinyPilot.

Not yet, but that's something we're exploring: https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot/issues/1320

You could use the PI to run TinyPilot for IP KVM for one of the PCs: https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot

Would love it if PiKVM was available to use as a VM or Docker container which I just pass through the Video capture device and a USB controller to. I saw https://github.com/purplepalmdash/pikvmx86 was a thing but it hasn't been updated in 3 years.

And to answer your actual question, there's x86 versions of Pi KVM. I've never tried any as I've got the Pi Zero's though.

You can use a project like pikvmx86 (though it doesn't seem to have been updated in the last 2 years). You will need a HDMI capture card and some other cheap electronics to emulate the USB (all described on the github repo).
