Anyone using network-manager with a light desktop flavors? Which iint system? 14 April 2024, 19:07:31 I'm trying to get Wifi screencasting to my big screen TV working on a light system, like LXDE or LXQT or XFCE. I'm not concerned with the disk space required, but performance under load is critical, as I run a must-have java app (running under Zulu 11) that eats up a lot of CPU cycles, and I run with a lot of browser tabs open as well. I'd be afraid KDE would be too heavy of an environment for my purposes.The app I need to do the screencasting is gnome-network-displays, and it requires network-manager as well as wpa_supplicant and xdg portals.If anyone else is doing the screencasting successfully with Artix, please tell me what init and desktop you are running?Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated..

Reply #2 – 15 April 2024, 15:20:35 I've used SimpleScreenRecorder to record videos from my computer's desktop, which I then uploaded to Youtube, but don't see a way to have SimpleScreenRecorder simultaneously broadcast whatever is displayed or playing via Wifi to my TV screen (which is a Samsumg smart TV).If it can do that, do you know of any how to or video instructions for it?Maybe, initially, I should just try it with Artix using OpenRC (since its the default) and the KDE desktop since it uses NetworkManager to see if it will work that way with Gnome-Network-Displays. I haven't used KDE in years, so its possible its been made more efficient.
