I use barrier to switch between a windows and a linux machine using the same monitor. A lifesaver was finding ClickMonitorDDC - with a keyboard shortcut I can switch the monitor source as well.

ClickMonitorDDC doesn't seem to have a Linux version. How did you solve that?

It is enough to run ClickMonitorDDC on windows and add a keyboard shortcut. When Linux has the monitor I just move the mouse to the Windows PC and press the keys to switch the monitor input to the Windows PC.

You can use ddccontrol on Linux. gddccontrol for GUI.
