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.

    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.

    It’d be great if this was easily installable outside of gnome. I’d love an easy way to do this on sway or hyprland. Unless there already is a way?

    Btw, is there any casting device/service available that’s not spyware (i.e. AppleTV/Chromecast)?

      Miracast on Sonys and Huaweis. My Huawei can screencast to more or less any smart TV minus Apple TVs. We have many Sony TVs and all work with my phone, unlike Samsung’s buggy Smart cast that does not know how to cast the correct screen orientation.

      Just sharing a recent positive experience with bigger buttons: I just did some remote support because a printer wouldn’t work. RustDesk worked great and thanks to the bigger buttons clicking them with awful latency wasn’t so bad.

        Yeah I guess they are practical and easier to push. There is always pros and cons. :)

      I find this argument to be one of the most intellectually and technically dishonest ones against GNOME. With a few clicks on internet, you can download and use any good GTK3/4 theme like GNOME Professional, Nordic or Qogir. See the Fonts and Tilix/Terminal title bars.

      GNOME’s custom scaling is not just most polished, but the most compact of all DEs (tried KDE, XFCE and LXQt), with the top bar taking a whopping 18 pixels of space on a 1366x768 display. And I did not even need to touch a configuration file, ever.
