They get to share raw ram access too. Many may not want that for security reasons. As long as you don't need to share screens and just want to share mouse/keyboard you can do it over TCP/IP with: synergy 1.x, barrier, or input-leap (for the various waylands that support libei). Some of them even include file transfer. But that would be better done with SMB or NFS or the like given the TCP/IP transport between exists.

- Palomides 2y agoI believe thunderbolt devices are now usually managed with the iommu and have at least some safety mechanisms
