Chromecast DOES work reliably on Linux.

It DOES NOT however not work on bad wifis and networks. Verify you your router configuration (there's tons of routers that block multicast over Wifi by default which doesn't work well with Chromecast) and wifi network quality.

It doesn't work well on good WiFi either. My work WiFi requires a username and password, so it isn't possible. My home WiFi isolates all clients. Any hotel WiFi I ever saw requires a click through agreement.

Um... I think you mixed up Wifi quality and authentication schemes.
