[HELP] How do I use my laptop as a second screen?
I'm running KDE Plasma 6 on Arch & I've been running into difficulties syncing the two displays together.
I plug in my HDMI cable into my monitor & my laptop, I see my display is detected, but am not able to proceed any further.
I have been able to set my LAPTOP as my primary display, but no luck with the PC monitor.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

Re: [HELP] How do I use my laptop as a second screen?
Remove the redundant plea for help, generally probably fix the subject - afaiu you're not trying to use the laptop as external monitor for something else?
And then please elaborate on the problem.
Do you struggle to get the external output to display anything or do you seek to alter the output "order" to impact some behavior (eg. where dialogs show up etc)?
In the latter case, please detail the desired behavior. In case of the former, are you running plasma on X11 or wayland? And does that make a difference?
