Switching monitors between two machines (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hello! I'm in a situation, where I have a work laptop and a personal computer, the latter is used mostly for gaming. In order to switch between them I have to plug all the peripherals from one machine to the other, to help with that I bought a dock, to which I can connect everything, and connect the dock via one USB-C cable. The trouble begins with the monitors, as my laptop supports thunderbolt, but my motherboard doesn't, so it's a bit of a chore to switch them.

To alleviate the issue I'm considering changing my motherboard to one that has thunderbolt 4 support, as I have one 4K monitor and one full HD, and I've read it should support them fine on one cable. Is this a good solution? I'm thinking I might run into some issues with monitors not being connected directly to my GPU, latency or otherwise.

I beseech thee for help o masters of the PC.

Which learning path makes the most amount of sense? by Cheery in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

As a front-end developer with 10 years of experience, I'd suggest going with JavaScript. It's one language for both stacks, you can learn the core front and back end ideologies, and if you decide to go with a different language for back-end, it shouldn't take too much time to learn afterwards. From my experience it would be easier both to learn and potentially to get a job in the field.
