The developer working on integrating network display functionality into GNOME Shell shared short video clip to the GNOME sub-reddit […] the feature adds a “screencast” button to the row of actions in the Quick Settings menu. Clicking this opens a modal picker where the user can select any Miracast or Chromecast compatible displays on the network.

I thought this was going to be a screen recording tool. Like sharex. Having cast feature is cool as well though.

I guess AirPlay is not possible due to Apple’s DRM.

Have you tried snapcast. I’ve been quite successful with it.

No I haven’t. Do you have experience with it? What is your opinion?

while true, it would be more about the protocol and stuff.

Neither AirPlay nor Chromecast is open source.

It seems to support Chromecast though

Isn’t chromecast based on Miracast?

That would be so great ! It’s something I’d enjoy having even if I don’t think I’ll use it that much. Gnome is really great 👍

Wonder how feasible it would be to add a sunshine/moonlight option in there.

Maybe a little overkill for a lot of users, but it’d do wonders in the gaming community

I dream of an easy to use, ready to go, baked-in Sunshine implementation.

I fear it just isn’t that well known.

I mean, as a remote desktop for office use is vastly superior to anything else.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
