Sidecar, it’s built into MacOS starting with Catalina. You will need a compatible device: support.apple.com/en-us/HT210380

Oh right, thats my bad for missing that. I found this project on GitHub but it does not look like it has been recently maintained: github.com/kbumsik/VirtScreen
There is also Duet display but I think they only offer support for Windows or Mac. Linux might just be left out in the cold on this one unfortunately. Good luck
