Dear #homelab bubble,
as is normal I have a dozen different SBCs (Raspi1, Raspi2, Raspi4,...) as well as some other thin clients running in my home lab. As none of them is connected to a monitor, each of them has some kind of serial-to-USB cable attached (to a serial output or to the Raspi GPIO pins).
Of course, I am lazy, and moving the laptop I am working on and attaching the right cable is too much effort. So I thought about finding another solution. Not sure if there is one and if I can afford it. So I would be glad if there is any input or ideas or hints or experiences or recommendations. Thanks in advance!
@jwolynko Hmmm, how would that help? If I understood this properly it is intended for graphical management of one machine?
Or did Imisread this?
@johanneskastl please check this post it’s nice described by the author:

@jwolynko OK, as I thought. He uses a KVM switch to connect 4 machines that do not have serial consoles / connections but have normal HDMI/displayPort graphics.
@johanneskastl then no more ideas from my side. :(
@jwolynko @johanneskastl@mastodon.social No worries, thanks for the recommendation nevertheless.
