The wiki hasn&amp;#x27;t been updated in 6 years, so I assume it&amp;#x27;s not viable in modern Ubuntu?</text><parent_chain><item><author>birdyrooster</author><text>Back when I was poor and all I had was a laptop... my girlfriend wanted a computer but we didn&amp;#x27;t have enough money. So I loaded up virtual box and plugged in an external monitor, keyboard and mouse binding them to the virtual machine.

I was mentally practicing sharing my 32 inch screen with my wife when she complains about screen real estate inequality in the house - hers is surface pro - but never come close to solving keyboard and mouse sharing.</text><parent_chain><item><author>birdyrooster</author><text>Back when I was poor and all I had was a laptop... my girlfriend wanted a computer but we didn&amp;#x27;t have enough money.
