This utility watches for USB device connect/disconnect events and switches monitor inputs via DDC/CI. This turns a simple USB switch into a full-fledged KVM solution: press one button on your USB switch and all your monitors connect to a different input. It is supposed to be installed on all computers that could be connected to these monitors since the app only switches monitors "one way" and relies on itself running on the other computers to switch it "the other way" as needed.

crosvm (ChromeOS Virtual Machine Monitor) is a secure, lightweight virtual machine monitor built on top of the Linux KVM hypervisor. Developed for ChromeOS, it is designed to isolate and execute Linux and Android guests efficiently while maintaining strong security boundaries. Unlike general-purpose emulators like QEMU, crosvm avoids full hardware emulation and focuses on modern paravirtualized I/O using the virtio standard, reducing complexity and attack surface.

Lan Mouse is a mouse and keyboard-sharing software similar to universal control on Apple devices. It allows for using multiple PCs with a single set of mouse and keyboard. This is also known as a Software KVM switch. The primary target is Wayland on Linux but Windows MacOS and Linux on Xorg have partial support as well (see below for more details). Focus lies on performance and a clean, manageable implementation that can easily be expanded to support additional backends like e.g. Android, iOS.

Firecracker is an open-source virtualization technology developed by AWS for deploying secure micro-VMs (microVMs) that offer strong isolation with minimal overhead. Designed for serverless workloads (e.g., AWS Lambda, Fargate), it combines VM-level security with container-like performance and startup speed.
