From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE Connect? (It's not KDE exclusive)
Synergy https://github.com/symless
share keyboard video and mouse across computers, they have android and ios
its a paid open source model...
There is a fork called barrier, which is a few years old, but doesn't have any closed source bits.
Video?
maybe Synergy or KDE Connect
I can use KDE connect it to send mouse click event, but the stylus and the touchscreen doesn't seem to be supported. Am I missing something?
I second KDE Connect, especially if you're already invested in the KDE ecosystem.
I have it on my phone and it allows me to do remote access, in addition to using the device as an input. It also does handoff stuff like letting you answer your texts on your desktop, and I find that feature set works more consistently than Your Phone by MS.
I already use it on my android smartphone, but here I need something to share touchscreen and stylus between two linux devices
XMouse is what I use.
You could still be able to use it wired, I do it with my Android tablet via USB, following the instructions in the repo: https://github.com/H-M-H/Weylus/issues/71
Maybe the same could be done via Ethernet for you? Since it's a Linux device instead
replying to @jet@hackertalks.com as the direct reply is stuck in a loading loop:
in the website it's written
keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
but no words about touchscreen and stylus. Is it supported?
What do you mean by touchscreen and stylus? Do you want to transfer pressure data? Do you want to see the screen of the pc on the tablet?
not sure, they have repos for android and ios
