I too own no external monitors and do my dev/CAD/photography stuff on one of three laptops (macOS, linux, windows 11) [0] depending on where I am, and as much of my writing/planning on my now quite old iPad Pro away from said devices as possible.

So I use one of those cheap HDMI capture devices that flooded eBay about three months into the pandemic to watch Raspberry Pi boot logs or function as ad-hoc console monitor, either with my MBP or with the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro functions usefully as an occasional second monitor for the MBP more directly with USB-C/wifi, of course, so it all works out rather well.

[0] mostly macOS, though I am finally building up a desktop linux escape strategy, 31 years after I first ran X on linux, which might get finally kicked up a notch depending on what happens with Affinity at the end of the month
