Totally unrelated but: The day I can wireless screencast my Linux Laptop to my home television I will lite a candle.

If your home television supports Miracast, you can do it today: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.NetworkDisplays

Wow, that's pretty crazy. I didn't know Wi-Fi Direct was already supported on (non-Android) Linux.

It doesn't seem to establish a connection properly with my Intel 8265 card out of the box though. I'll have to play around with it a bit more.

You might be running into this: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/hostap/patch/2020082506... if your distro doesn't ship this patch to wpa_supplicant (AFAIK Fedora does ship it).

Thanks, I'll double check the kernel sources in my distro (I'm using Fedora 33).

[jhoechtl]

wow, thank's for the link! Should be installed by default, it's such a convenient thing and narrows the usability gap of a Linux desktop compared to Windows/MacOS

[guepe]

You can. I do it: hdmi wireless is a thing ! Just plug it. I have used one with dual input and repeater (outputs what is selected as input).

I do this daily and it's very easy. Just use chromecast

Can you actually cast your desktop? I was under the impression you could only cast browser tabs.

[rowanG077]

I can cast my desktop. Latency is abysmal though so no gaming.

I'm doing this with Steam Link, works perfectly

If your TV has YouTube installed you could potentially live stream your laptop.
