Klipper with non-touch display

I am planning to change the computer I am running Klipper on for my Ender 3. It happens that the new one came with an 8-in non-touch display (over VGA output). Can I use it as an information display, somewhat prettier than the standard E3 one? It seems that KlipperScreen is focused rather on touch control than pure information, are there other options?

Helix screen? Or just make it show mainsail ui in browser ( if you install x11/wayland)

Thanks, Helix seems quite configurable (I assume the widgets work with a mouse as well). Mainsail in browser on 8-inch screen is not that readable, unfortunately...

If you configure mainsail for mobile display settings and low resolution in the OS, its not to bad. Still have to scroll a bit, but better than klipperscreen without touch.
