Extremely badass but still 60Hz :(

I wonder if I’ll ever find a way to drive 4k@144Hz and switch inputs without the current cable replugging ritual.

The best option I've found is to hook both computers up to a USB-only KVM, and plug them in via separate video cables to the monitor. Then set up the computers to tell the monitor to change inputs (via DDC commands, which most but not all monitors support) when you change devices on the KVM

There's software to help do this automatically (https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch)

I set this up on my M1 Mac yesterday, it’s awesome, and because I have Mac on all the time I only need it installed on that machine

I think displays with built-in KVM switching is your only option right now.
