          There's Miraclecast,



          https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast



          https://launchpad.net/~thopiekar/+archive/ubuntu/miraclecast



          And instructions / a discussion from a few years back... I do not know if this has become more user friendly since, or not.
          https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/issues/4



          I looked into this a while back when I got a "smart tv", and ended up making the the lazy decision to buy a chromecast device instead.

          • I've been casting from Chrome browser. There's mkchromecast mkchromecast.com (should be installable form ubuntu repositories), maybe that would do what you want, I have not tried it.
