## Signals and evidence

- NEW · 7h OLD WHEN SEEN

## TESIGN TAKE

The README states plainly which modes work and which do not, which is what earns the trust.

## WHY IT MATTERS

Windows and macOS cast to a TV out of the box; on Linux a working option is hard to find. The author says they built it after nothing worked for watching movies from a Linux laptop on the TV.

## BUILD FROM THIS

- Casts over Miracast (WFD), DLNA or Chromecast. The tray app follows the system language, and on KDE/GNOME Wayland it captures the screen through the desktop's screen-share dialog (xdg-desktop-portal).

## WHO IT'S FOR

- Linux laptop users who want to watch video or show a presentation on a TV.

## START IN 5 MINUTES

```
# Follow the install guide in the docs at fluxcast.dev, then pick your TV from the tray.
```

## CAVEATS

- Per the README, only WFD (Miracast) is validated as release-ready; DLNA is a fallback, and Cast is experimental and did not work on the tested Samsung TV. It is tuned for wlroots-class setups such as Hyprland.

## How to read this

- This file was produced by the same build, from the same data, as the tesign.com item page. The text is editorial; the numbers are stored observations.
- null in the JSON means not observed — never zero. The Markdown writes [unconfirmed] for it.
- Star total = the value last checked on GitHub (stars_checked_at) + increases observed via GH Archive since. The 24h · 7d · 30d gains are GH Archive hourly events summed to the reference time (as_of). No score of ours.
- A summary, not legal advice.
