I currently have a spare laptop, and I want to use it as an external monitor, however I have not been successful. Any program that you recommend for this, please?
At one time, I tried this as well. I never did figure out a way of doing it - I would be curious about the results of this thread.
Yes, luckily I have a free drive on my laptop where I can install windows, so at least I can use the other laptop, although I would like to be able to use it on linux. They recommended a program called DESKREEN. For now that's all I've been able to get
have you tested Deskreen on Zorin OS, yet?
not really
I'm wondering what happens if I plug 2 laptops with VGA cable 
. Maybe they try each other to show their screens on the other

Deskreen works
But you need a dummy display (Virtual Display Adapter as they call it) to plug into a slot to trick the OS into thinking there is a 2nd display.
