Right, a KVM’s usefulness is narrow and you’re ideally using it as a sort of backup to a backup of critical systems. That means you usually only hear about them in server environments, and that means that sysadmins pay a LOT of money for enterprise-grade KVMs.
But it’s very cool that we can build a dirt cheap, half-decent KVM out of a Pi nowadays. I might have just left mine running if I there wasn’t a Pi shortage; I wanted that Pi for other stuff.
