A real user-centric OS (like a full-fledged Linux distribution, not something intentionally crippled as badly as Android) would use something like PipeWire[1] for this. It's a project designed entirely around managing multiple multimedia devices so they can be accessed by multiple applications, even concurrently.

PipeWire? I don't think you want that kind of thing for raw video output. You want display content to be on VRAM. The void between software jockeys and hardware world sometimes makes me feel numb.
