Hello everyone! I would like to part ways with my Google Chromecast. Fortunately, I had an extra Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB version) in my drawer, which I used to install LineageOS. Afterwards, I installed F-Droid and a customized launcher to give it a more AndroidTV-like appearance.

Now, I have a couple of questions:

  1. What can I use as an alternative to Google’s screencasting?
  2. Is it advisable to enable SSH with root access on the Raspberry Pi?

Thanks!

    There’s no reason to allow root to login to anything via ssh. Add a specific user to the Wheel group and that user can sudo whatever they need to do. Just make sure to disable password authentication and only allow certificates.
