Is there a good software to change monitor settings and create profiles?
You may have to, however, figure out the control scheme yourself, with something like winddcutil and then use it inside of a batch script or some simple app. I was able to figure out most of the settings iirc on my MateView monitor, from brightness to gaming profiles.

Question about OSD Sidekick with Dual Monitors
It may be possible to control multiple monitors if you're decent with Python https://github.com/P403n1x87/m27q/pull/1. It might also be possible with DDCUTIL (for Windows - https://github.com/scottaxcell/winddcutil) if you're willing to go that route.

Display-switch: Turn a $30 USB switch into a full-featured multi-monitor KVM
Thanks. I also discovered winddcutil, for those of us on Windows with Dell monitors too old to be supported by Dell Display Manager.

Barrier: Open-Source KVM Software
There is an actively developed fork https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap, however that fork is still undergoing heavy development and recommends sticking with Barrier until they're able to release v3.0.0 which they expect rather soon.

barrier is basically a dead project now. The active members of the project forked it and are going to release when ready but

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
There's a new fork of barrier called input leap (not to be confused with the leap motion), https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap with work on getting Wayland support in shape. Not sure how far the support is atm, but the gnome 45 release notes mentioned "Wayland support for Input Leap" (https://release.gnome.org/45/)

What do you think of Smart KVM as a feature on a monitor?
I wonder if I would be better off just buying a LG monitor without the Smart KVM, and instead using Barrier (or, Input Leap, which seems to be maintained actively compared to Barrier https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap)
- Barrier-like KVM for XWayland and MacOS
-
KVM but only mouse and keyboard
Could also be worth mentioning that Barrier is basically unmaintained at this point so you'll probably never get Wayland support there. The maintainers (apparently the owner of the debauchee/barrier dropped off the face of the earth) of Barrier forked it and migrated to input-leap (issue with details if interested) which is where all development is presently, although they haven't made a release yet.
