DIY Chromecast (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone! I would like to part ways with my Google Chromecast. Fortunately, I had an extra Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB version) in my drawer, which I used to install LineageOS. Afterwards, I installed F-Droid and a customized launcher to give it a more AndroidTV-like appearance.

Now, I have a couple of questions:

What can I use as an alternative to Google's screencasting?
Is it advisable to enable SSH with root access on the Raspberry Pi?

Thanks!

If you only want to cast your screen, maybe try thinking more in terms of "KVM" than "Chromecast?"
