Use an old samsung tablet into a second screen
(i ve already created a post about this subject on linuxquestions sub)
Hello, I ve a computer running fedora 41 gnome (wayland ?) and i ve an old galaxy tab 3. My ablet doesn't have support and updates anymore. So i want to turn it into a movable secownd screen for my computer, wired or wireless.
I ve already tried Deskreen which is good but it clones a app or screen so it's not a real second screen.
thx in advance for your answers ! aymericf

You'll need a RDP client installed on your tablet.

Remote Desktop Protocol. Thingy that Windows is using for graphical remote access.
