This has been a quest of mine for a while now, “native” (or close enough that it does not matter) display and input over a data network.
You can get very close today, but you need both very low network latency (<8ms or half a 16ms frame at a minimum) and a hardware + software stack that
can quickly and efficiently dump it’s display framebuffer to the network.
Getting all that to work at the same time is a real trick. Getting it to all work consistently has so far not proven worth the effort vs some other solution like just using another device.
