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.

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.

Neither AirPlay nor Chromecast is open source.

It seems to support Chromecast though

Isn't chromecast based on Miracast?

[–] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 5 points 1 year ago

It's certainly not based on Miracast. Chromecast is built around applications running on the Chromecast itself while Miracast is merely a combination of WiFi Direct and a video stream.

Google does offer SDKs for Chromecast for a wide range of devices. You can program the thing to play a video through Javascript, so it's probably not very difficult to add Chromecast support once you've got the video stream stable and running.
