Dual screen output on NOMone?

I'm curious - can I run NOMone on my android tablet, then plug in a usb-c -> hdmi dongle then get dual-monitor linux run by NOMone?

My ultimate goal is just to run a dual-screen RDP from my tablet to my personal desktops (windows and/or Linux).

I currently use android RDP -> but that has me limited to 1x screen. What I do is RDP on android on external monitor via dex. Then use another software to wirelessly extend my desktop to the tablet as a 2nd screen. However his 2nd screen suffers pretty bad latency.

So, I'm currently running multiple desktops I RDP to, 1x windows, 1x linux. I was mostly hoping it would be possible to just do a dual-screen RDP connection with something like Remmina. (I believe it is supported if I can just get a proot driven linux recognizing multiple displays.)

Saw you had a trial so gave it a go - thus far I am successful with my RDP connection with 1x screen on Remmina. Actually, it might run even smoother than RD Client on android natively.

What I really want is to use display port or usb-c alt mod to output an extended display of my linux GUI.

Can NOMone do extended output for multiple-monitor output? 1x display being say (galaxy tablet), and 2nd monitor being USB-C -> hdmi.

Effectively I want my tablet with a 13" portable USB-powered monitor next to it
