I currently have a spare laptop, I was thinking of using it as a second monitor but the result was disappointing. So I would like your help please, I would not like to let the laptop get dusty again.
use its hard drive to make a backup of ur whole os using timeshift
and if u have 2 ram slots, remove one and put it in ur main laptop
then just simply sell it
Or put Zorin Education on it and donate to local computer club for youngsters.

Media Server could be a good use for it. I have a desktop than runs 24/7 for this purpose.
