How did you even manage to dual monitor another laptop? Is this some kind of software?

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

This seems like the truly janky part to me.
