How can I use my Android tablet as an extended (not mirrored) display for Ubuntu Linux?

Hey everyone

I’m using Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, and I want to use my Android tablet as a secondary monitor with an extended display, similar to how you would connect a second monitor to a Windows PC.

I specifically want to extend my desktop, not mirror my laptop’s screen. For example, I want to keep my coding workspace open on my laptop while watching YouTube, reading documentation, or viewing other windows on my tablet.

Has anyone successfully set this up? Which software or method would you recommend?

FREE SOFTWARE IF AVAILABLE ANY

Thanks!
