I created Deskreen. This is a desktop app that makes any device with a web browser a second screen for your computer.
Combining with https://github.com/dianariyanto/virtual-display-linux I was able to make my windows laptop a second desktop screen to my linux desktop. Literally 5 minutes tops and it's all running smoothly. Thx!

Or if you are an experienced user of your operating system, you can find solutions on how to create a virtual display without a need for Virtual Display Adapter in the following link: https://github.com/pavlobu/deskreen/discussions/86

Android 14 adds support for using your smartphone as a webcam
Use a vnc client on your android device and setup a virtual monitor on your desktop that is really a vnc server.
I know how to do that with Sway and swayvnc on wayland, as well as with xorg.

This is particularly helpful to people using asahi linux and wanting to connect an external monitor. That can be done with something as simple as a raspberry pi.
EDIT: apparently this project help achieving the same thing on different OS but using webRTC and a browser:

How can i create a virtual display on X11? [Amd]
Generic X: https://github.com/pavlobu/deskreen/issues/42
I Need to create a virtual display for use with sunshine streaming software, ideally at 1440p or 4k resolution, I've tried using a dummy driver but that disables my actual display input, and enabling an inactive display source using xrandr and setting a resolution to that causes the system to kernel panic

Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
I use Deskreen with Windows, it has a Linux version that probably works similarly. I think it leverages browser streaming tech.
Easiest way to get it working is with a dummy plug, but maybe there's more options on Linux to fake a display in software.

T1 Sandwich with 7950X & 7900 XTX
Deskreen and a dummy monitor plug. It’s wireless so it has pretty bad latency but lets you turn any web browser into a second monitor. Good enough for discord or spotify.

Use a laptop as a 2nd display on Linux using FreeRDP
There's a big thread about this on the deskreen repo [0], maybe they've found something new since I last checked it.
There is, however, a very good remote virtual monitor solution called Spacedesk [1], which has a windows server (with virtual display driver included) and a JavaScript client that runs in any browser (it refuses to run in Firefox, but if you just comment out that line of code it works perfectly fine).

Barrier Alternative
not with an iPad, unfortunately: Apple has those locked down tight. the best you can do is use something like Deskreen to use the iPad as a second monitor (it uses Safari as a VNC client to extend a virtual display from your linux desktop)

What are some alternatives?
