But then the laptop would need to boot minimal OS that can load a telnet client that automatically connects through the serial port to the Pi, and GUIs might be hard, but I guess an X server (display, running on the laptop) could be configured to be listening for connections on the laptop - but the laptop need to be a bit more powerful.

- selfhoster11 5y agoDOS can handle being a serial terminal just fine. It's also capable of being an X11 client (see DESQview/X), though I don't know how well that works with modern versions of Xorg or modern X11 applications.
