• Mirroring screen to Chromecast with sound

  Wow... I haven't used a ChromeCast in about 6 years. Ok, have you installed MKChromecast? Last Time I used a ChromeCast I was on Ubuntu, and followed instructions here however I see on MKChromecast page they have an instructional video if you hit the cast button and goto bottom of page.

• Stream from Ubuntu to Chromecast or Miracast

  I need to stream a captured video input from my Ubuntu Kinetic to a smart TV or iPad sink via Chromecast/Miracast or whatever. Can this be done without VLC (not reliable)? Mkchromecast is not working in Kinetic yet, and GNOME Network Displays only casts physical monitors. Source: over 1 year ago

• WFH Gamers that use KVM/USB Switch, what do you use?

  I have a 3 PC home setup, so, like you, I didn't need to worry about monitors for my switching solution. First off, I HIGHLY recommend Input Director (Windows only) or other software KVM for the keyboard and mouse.

• Not exactly a cyberDeck, but this is what I have. VAIO VGN-P21ZR.

  A friend recently gave me a box of their old hardware. It included an old Toshiba Encore 2 tablet running Windows 8.1. It's the first time I've used Windows on a ARM device, and it's been pretty amazingly usable. Not enough RAM or storage, but it has a single microSD card slot, at least.
