Mirroring screen to Chromecast with sound

how to cast screen to lg tv via WiFi without needing Chrome on Linux Fedora?
You can use VLC with the chromecast renderer (playback -> renderer) for that, I've also used https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast in the past.

Stream from Ubuntu to Chromecast or Miracast
I need to stream a captured video input from my Ubuntu Kinetic to a smart TV or iPad sink via Chromecast/Miracast or whatever. Can this be done without VLC (not reliable)? Mkchromecast is not working in Kinetic yet, and GNOME Network Displays only casts physical monitors.

My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
Eventually, I needed to find the ID of windows, move them, and bring them to the front—I realized I couldn't do that with gtk-rs. I needed to interact with the window manager (X11 server). So from inside my application, I ran commands that called xdotool.

Ask HN: What's Your Proudest Hack?
I often create screen recordings for my classes, but it's very boring and time consuming. I'm a perfectionist, and if I mistype a command I prefer to re-record everything. Moreover, every time one of the tools used in the videos gets a significant update, I feel compelled to redo the video.
I have started using xdotool [1] to create bash scripts that send mouse clicks and keystrokes to apps. Interleaving calls to xdotool with the "sleep" command [2] produce a convincing effect. If I need to redo a video to fix typos or after a program update, I just fix the bash script and restart the recording.
Alas, the only thing that is missing in my videos is the sound of keyboard clicks… But nothing is perfect!
