  • Hi yes it's possible. Commercial solutions do this. There are new codes people found and shared with us in discussion thread. There is even a solution for mac, but I haven't tested it. When I find a good working solution I'll add it to Deskreen when I have time for it. here are links in discussion: https://github.com/pavlobu/deskreen/discussions/86

  • Weylus

    Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer.

  • It would be awesome if you could collaborate, since it has this https://github.com/H-M-H/Weylus#weylus-as-second-screen but it's still based on CLI commands

  • InfluxDB
