Unable to install Virtscreen
by Ferrator from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57WCM)
Good day guys.
VirtScreen is an app that allows you to use your phone as an extended display
This can be useful for a whole slew of reasons like Viewing system usage while working on the mainscreen or having discord on one screen while the mainscreen is showing your game to name just two.
