I'm trying to "cast" my laptop's screen (Debian+GNOME) to my living room TV, either to an HDMI dongle or to the RPi connecting to it (LibreElec+Kodi) *without* resorting to a Chromecast and ideally only using FOSS.

It's revealing to be surprisingly difficult. Any suggestions?

@AMS this sounds promising, but I'm unclear on the sink part: how to play the stream from Kodi? (note: it doesn't have a decent browser add-on when running on Linux/RPi)

@AMS ok, cool, I'll give it a try, thanks. But now that I think of this, by default VLC will not stream audio together with the desktop capture. Or am I missing something?
