Chromecast is completely closed-source, I'd argue against buying into that ecosystem.
Nymphcast [1] is an alternative, but wouldn't be compatible with existing clients, since the protocol is different.
Miraclecast [2] is an implementation of miracast/wi-fi display that runs on Linux. There is also a myriad of alternatives: vnc, raspicast, etc.
Leapcast [3] used to be an implementation of what you want (while using chrome as a black box).
There are some implementations of airplay.
