Gaming Setup
As a streamer, I am often asked about my setup. So, here you go!
There are two computers powering this setup. My workstation is running Linux Mint with the MATE desktop interface, and powers the 3 monitors. I don't actually use the triple monitors for any gaming, that is mostly a productivity setup. I primarily game on the big TV, which is connected to my Windows 10 gaming PC.
I use Synergy day to day to make both computers behave like a single computer, in terms of sharing a single keyboard and mouse. This isn't ideal for gaming, so I also have a physical USB switch to change which computer has the physical keyboard and mouse USB devices attached.
