Docking station with multiple inputs

[matrixatp]

Looking for a docking station that can switch between the input of a linux laptop and a windows pc. Not sure how that would handle GPU from the PC though, DP passthrough maybe? Or I could use DP from my PC and HDMI from the docking station and just switch the input manually from the monitor. Other requirements would be 4 usb type A slots and a type C one. I've already seen one device that you can get to use between each PC/laptop and the docking station to tell it which signal to use. But as far as I could tell you also needed some software and no linux support. Besides, I'm hoping to use just one device.

the device you want does not exist.

 

your best solution, assuming you want a single cable solution for the laptop is a docking station for that end, and a KVM switch to switch between the dock and the pc.

Thanks for the suggestion. I always thought I needed some sort of docking station. But I found a KVM switch that would work for me. Only 1 extra cable for charging the laptop.
