    Can I use a 2017 iMac as a external display for a PC?

    I need to fix a desktop PC. Before I lug out a LCD display, is there a simpler way using a iMac? For example my 2017 21" 4K iMac. It would be really nice if I could have a cable here I could connect to the PC so the iMac acts as a monitor for that PC. I would still use a separate keyboard and...

    Going back to windows 10?

    A while back I put together a fairly decent windows 10 build, the idea was to dual boot Linux but windows took over, I removed the m.2 drive that contained windows and went with a standard SSD for a straight Linux build.
