Cast the screen to a smart TV
Problem:
I need to cast my screen (without audio) to a smart TV or another device.
Solution:
Install an app on the computer, open a web browser on the smart TV (or client), and start casting.
Step by step:
- Download the Linux version, with the
.AppImageversion.

For example, for a PC platform with Fedora 44, I've tested the x86 64-bit architecture (computers with Intel or AMD processors): `deskreen-ce-3.2.16-x86_64.AppImage`.
*Optionally*, you visit the official Deskreen website:
<https://deskreen.com/download/>
-
Open a Terminal and give permissions
cd Downloads/ chmod +x deskreen-*.AppImage - Execute and follow the steps
./deskreen-ce-3.2.16-x86_64.AppImage - (optional) If you’re sure both devices are on the same Wifi: same network name and same frequency: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz (both on 2.4 GHz or both on 5 GHz). Then set up the firewall and open the port Deskreen specifies.
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3131/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
