What’s the status of Google Cast support on the Linux desktop these days?
I know I’ve seen various projects at various stages to get audio and/or video streaming to Chromecasts, Nest Hubs, and Google Cast speakers, but none of them have actually worked for me—especially as someone on either Endless OS (GNOME 43) or Fedora Silverblue.
This reminds me that I’d really love to have someone to point to as a liaison between GNOME/FreeDesktop and these sorta-open Google/Android things. From my understanding, all of the following are similar where they’re (mostly?) open source, but would require getting in contact with Google and maybe signing something… which is hard with volunteer or just fully open source projects:
We should be able to make desktop Linux the more interoperable choice that respects you and your devices. Being able to opt in to these features would bring some of the very real benefits of other ecosystems (e.g. what Apple users love to tout!) to Linux—and I want that!
