I want to make use of an old laptop by extending my the desktop from my main PC onto the monitor of this other, old laptop over a LAN connection.

I've looked into Xdmx/dmx, but the project seems to have been dead for a while.

Are there any other alternatives or will I have to cobble my own script together?

The Xdmx project is still active. You can download with:

sudo apt install xdmx

And here's a video on setting Xdmx

And just to keep you posted that the DMX software has been integrated into the X.org server software.
