If you’re up for using Jellyfin, you can check out something I’m working on to achieve this: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/Homehook
The main branch used to be compatible with chromecast devices, but I’ve stopped maintaining it in favor of the v2 branch, where HomeHook communicates directly with satellite devices through HomeCast. Working with Chromecasts were a huge pain.
Let me know if you have any questions about it, always glad to help!

You could try out something I whipped up for this and see if it works for you: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/ToothPick
I hadn’t even realized VSCodium has it’s own extension marketplace, I hadn’t used it myself. Thanks for prompting me on this, I went ahead and published it there too! https://open-vsx.org/extension/ctfam/btrfs-file-history
Hopefully my namespace gets verified soon and the warning will go away.
I haven’t really distributed any binaries yet, everything I work on is just FOSS at https://github.com/MattMckenzy.
However, I did look into packaging my HomeCast project in my own debian apt repository. It’s still unsigned at the moment, but when I get to it I imagine I’ll just use dpkg and gnupg2 however I need to.
I’m a professional and hobbyist C# .NET dev and I recently made the switch to a full Linux environment at home. I’ve gotten a great workflow setup with just VSCode and some extensions. I’ve actually found some ways to improve my workflow with VSCode vs Visual Studio and I’m glad I made the switch. The only thing I really miss is the phenomenal diagnostics and profiling I would get with a full Visual Studio install, but I’m getting used to using cli dotnet tools to replace that as well.
If you’re going the VSCode route, feel free to ask me more questions on useful extensions or workflow tweaks!
For the multi-seating aspect, I’ve just set up something similar using something called a KVM Extender (I got this one). I have my PC set up in my office and another seat set up in my bedroom.
The KVM essentially just transports HDMI and USB a long distance through an ethernet cable, so the bedroom monitor just appears as a second monitor. I’ve set up a keyboard combination to switch between enabled monitors so only one is turned on at once.
Not sure how many seats you could push with this, since you would need a set of KVM extender boxes per seat with its own HDMI/Display and USB ports in the PC. Might be something to look into in case it fits!
