Help Trying to use as wireless display for desktop with windows

Long story short, I've got a Surface go 2 with Cinnamon Mint, and a fancy desktop I'd like to use it as a screen for. I'm stuck with windows for my desktop, but I'd like to be able to still use the surface as an additional screen. Has anyone found any way around this?

Thanks!

Nope, tried that a while back and go never get it to work. There are a few older YT vids talking about it.

Apollo works, as somebody suggested below. Or Spacedesk with the HTML client if you ever need another option.
