Make Linux recognize FireTV as second Monitor

Hi there,

The Question is pretty straight forward. How can I make the TV with FireTV be handeld from Linux as an External Monitor?

cheers

use a laptop & Miracast that is built into the FireStick you will need a HDMI cable or you can do it wireless - see here -

Thanks for your suggestion, but these are sadly above my price cap
