Ask HN: Scrcpy but for two Linux desktops?

1 pointsby notjulianjaynes12 months ago
I think the application scrcpy (Screen Copy) which mirrors an android device&#x27;s display on a host computer, through USB or Wifi, without needing to do anything to the phone besides have USB debugging turned on, to be pretty incredible.<p>It&#x27;s saved my ass a few times when I&#x27;ve managed to smash a phone screen and need to export important information. I&#x27;ve even made a phone call from an android where the screen was completely dead using scrcpy.<p>To the extent that Android is based on Linux, why can&#x27;t I do the same with my laptop connected to my desktop. No remote desktop solution I&#x27;ve tried has proven as convenient or low latency as scrcpy and I&#x27;m wondering if there&#x27;s an equivalent screen copy application for an x86 device.
