KVMs usually jump from 2 inputs to 4. Ones that do 4 inputs and 4 monitors exist but you’re entering “enquire for price” territory.

Why do you need so many laptops/screens?

To me I’d consider Linux not standardized since anything outside the kernel can be swapped out. Want a GUI? There are competing standards, X vs Wayland, with multiple implementations with different feature sets. Want audio? There’s ALSA or OSS, then on top of those there is pulse audio, or jack, or pipewire. Multiple desktop environments, which don’t just change the look and feel but also how apps need to be written. Heck there are even multiple C/POSIX libraries that can be used.

It certainly can be a strength for flexibility, and distros attempt to create a stable and reliable setup of one set of systems.

Thank god we have crypto bros like Sigma G and Sina_21st to get the inside scoop on the Chinese rural bank loan crisis.

I’ve dabbled in a couple recently, xTTS v2 in Coqui sounds pretty good and is pretty quick. Especially if you use one of the built in voices. Has a weird “only for non commercial use” licence if that bothers you.

Main thing is the lug width. You could get a few straps on the smaller side and they’ll fit inside bigger lugs, just not look ideal.

Something that can be worth buying in person, even a mall key/watch repair stall would have a variety of types and sizes on hand and can find you something suitable on the spot.
