My use case: I have an M3 MacBook, but a much more flexible and powerful gaming PC that I'd like to hook up to my MacBook to act as a display receiver with zero/low latency. I make use of the MacOS virtual desktops and would ideally want to be able to fullscreen an app that just sits there and will display the input when I turn on my PC.

Same thing under Linux: I'd like to connect a console to the gaming PC which then displays on MacOS. I don't play any competitive console games, so I'm not necessarily worried about a small amount of latency (<50ms).

Currently, I have both my Linux gaming PC and MacBook connected to the same monitor, but have to switch between the inputs on the monitor itself. I want to be able to be within MacOS/Linux and just flip on a display input and connect my peripherals to the other PC and use it seamlessly, for example, I'd connect my controller and boot into Steam Big-Screen and game. If I need to web search something, I can just use my trackpad to change virtual desktops, do something, then swap back.

Is there something like a lightweight OBS that will ONLY display the input once it's all set up? I want the app window to be literally the Menu Bar with Close/Maximize and nothing else so I can just fullscreen the app and never see anything but the input itself.

Kovi loves the attention 🙂

Back again with another question thread looking for alternatives for my two most important apps that'll make me switch to Linux+Android:

Is there anything like PastePal on Linux with an Android app? The biggest thing about PastePal is that it lets me create a catalogue of text/images snippets that I can call up at any time on MacOS with CMD + Shift + V

The best part about it is that on iOS, I can use their custom keyboard and paste anything from my snippets library from the keyboard in places that don't usually allow you to paste text.

The app will sync everything I've copied on my Mac and make it available on my phone/iPad via either the app snippet library or the keyboard.

This is probably functionality that would be right up KDE Connect's alley to implement if it doesn't already exist.

I'm still trying to get myself over to linux, and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement for BetterTouchTool. Essentially, the app lets you customize multitouch trackpad gestures per-app and system wide with single to 5 finger support.

I'm one of those degenerates that enjoy cyst popping videos, and my sources have all dried up at this point: I was lurking on r/popping_curated and popthatzit before that. I bet the majority of them are on TikTok now, but I don't want to make an account there just for this lol.
