Use laptop as second monitor

Question

I have a old macbook running Manjaro and a PC running windows 10. Is there any way to use the laptop as a second screen for my main computer?

EDIT: Please do not mark as duplicate or link the other thread because the solution to that thread requires installing an unsigned driver and does not solve my problem.

Does this answer your question? [Can I use my laptop as a second monitor?](https://superuser.com/questions/15254/can-i-use-my-laptop-as-a-second-monitor) — gronostaj, Apr 30 '20 at 14:08
@gronostaj the answer for that question, ZoneScreen, requires disabling secure boot (I think) — H4ZE, Apr 30 '20 at 15:39

Try using Synergy. It is not free ($29), but it is a one-time lifetime purchase, and it it totally worth it. It works on every major operating system, and allows seamless connection between multiple devices.

As my laptop is pretty slow, that wouldn't work pretty well. Also, there's barrier, which is a free fork of synergy. – H4ZE Apr 30 '20 at 15:37
I have never heard of that! I’ll check it out. – coresdev Apr 30 '20 at 15:38
