Use with Mac 2018 + Dell XPS 9370 (Linux) + Dell UltraSharp 43 4K USB-C Monitor - U4320Q

I've been looking for a device like this for a while and it seems to be the only one available its that kind at the moment and caters to my needs. The Dell monitor has a wired Apple Magic keyboard and trackpad, and an external webcam that acts as a hub/dock. Mac with Big Sur on the 2018 model, Dell XPS with Fedora 35 with kernel 5.14.11. Side). Both laptops are USB-C powered and can output audio to the monitor's speakers and share peripherals connected through the monitor. No more unplugging and plugging in laptop-to-laptop USB-C cables, just press the Shift key to toggle. Both laptops sit on a stand next to the monitor with the lid closed and are set to stay awake with the lid closed on battery power.

Pros
  • DVI to HDMI Adapter
Cons
  • not reliable
