my 2 monitor setup, just need to find out how to connect them.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/shittybattlestations

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • barrier

    Open-source KVM software

  • I daily drive a desktop + laptop setup using Barrier (free software that allows you to use a single keyboard/mouse across multiple computers), although for Windows Mouse Without Borders (also free) is probably a better choice, as it is developed by Microsoft for Windows. I also use SSHFS to link my files and one of PulseAudio's built-in features to stream all audio from my laptop to my desktop, though both of those only work on Linux. If on Windows, this seems to be the best method for file sharing, and for audio, you might take a look at this.

  • sshfs

    Discontinued A network filesystem client to connect to SSH servers

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • synergy-core

    Open source core of Synergy, the cross-platform keyboard and mouse sharing tool (Windows, macOS, Linux)

  • I am a big fan of Synergy (which is offspring IIRC of Mouse Without Borders) which lets you share a mouse across systems. Synergy is cross-platform and works very well, it is a paid software. My sole complaint has been that on occasion, it loses track of the clipboard and settings must be re-applied within the application.
