I really just wish I had a USB-C KVM I could use with my laptop (or even better: tablet)...

I can't find much, and what I find is a bit bonkers.

I ended up buying a license to Orion, using USB-C→HDMI capture card with a Startech VGA→HDMI converter (which requires USB-A power)... in order to achieve a semi-passable KVM (but, without the K and the M...).

I paired with a USB-A Hub and a keyboard and mouse and it kinda works but it's an incredibly janky setup...

... the fact that many servers still output VGA is baffling.

Comet Q works well, if the usb c port supports DP-ALT
