I’ve recently switched from Windows 11 to Ubuntu (sorry if this is a noob question), but the Wireless Display options are not showing in Ubuntu 24.04. Are there special drivers, etc. needed for wireless display in Linux for the Framework?
The actual wireless display - Miracast (I think) is the technical name. I was able to connect to my external display (a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter hooked to a TV) in Windows, so I know the Framework is capable of it. I tried the Gnome Network Displays program without success (it works to cast to a speaker but not to the Wireless Display Adapter).
“Cast to a speaker” is probably happening through Bluetooth. Bluetooth doesn’t have enough bandwidth for video, so any remote display will be using something else. It looks like Miracast is a protocol that does it via wifi. It’s definitely the kind of thing you need a specific driver and software for. Perhaps that’s integrated in windows nowadays. You’ll have to search for what software you need on Ubuntu, if there exists an implementation at all.
It is also conceivable that there exist dongles that you can plug in that present as a display to the laptop and then do the wireless casting for you.
Looks like some Miracast and Chromecast support was added in GNOME Network Displays 0.91. But it sounds like the normal version of Ubuntu 24.04 still has an older version.
