use Dell laptop (ubuntu / windows 10) as second extended monitor for mac book pro using HDMI cable
I have a MacBook Pro and Dell Vostro with Windows 10 and Ubuntu installed.
Is there any way so I can use Dell Vostro laptop as extended monitor for MacBook pro using HDMI cable.
I'm scared if I put HDMI in both the port of MacBook and dell.
