      Yes it’s an optional feature on windows 10/11 called “wireless display” and as you expected it speed depends on how good your wifi is

          That’s my solution, I use barrier for mouse and keyboard and soundit for sending sounds to my main laptop and it’s works well (UAC prompt still pretty annoying tho it make mouse and keyboard stopped working for a few seconds), I use wireless display just so I can say I had dual monitor XD

          That seems like a much better solution. How is Barrier different from using vnc or some other remote desktop sharing service?

          Or I guess I should ask what is the key difference that would prompt you to use one over the other?

            Barrier is much faster due to it’s only sending mouse and keyboard information also easier to setup and seamless

              Ok that makes sense if I’m understanding correctly. Barrier is just sending control inputs to a headed machine, which are displayed on that machine’s head only. VNC/RDP is sending display info from a possibly headless machine to the controlling machine’s head, in addition to receiving control inputs.
