Spacedesk Para Linux New

Official spacedesk support for Linux remains limited. While a official driver (server) for Linux is currently not in the development plans of the creators [33], there are unofficial community projects and alternative methods to use the software on Linux systems. Current Status of Spacedesk on Linux

Driver (Server): There is no native Linux server software. The primary machine must still be a Windows PC [19].

Viewer (Client): A third-party, open-source Linux client is available on GitHub which supports Debian, Ubuntu (.deb), and Red Hat/Fedora (.rpm) distributions.

Web Viewer: Users can also use the spacedesk HTML5 Viewer via a web browser on Linux, though its performance may be less stable than a native app. Unofficial Installation (Client/Viewer Only)

To use a Linux machine as a secondary display for a Windows host:

Download the package: Get the latest .deb or .rpm file from the community GitHub repository. Install via terminal: spacedesk para linux new

For Ubuntu/Debian: sudo dpkg -i spacedesk-viewer_v1.0.0_Linux.deb

For Fedora/Red Hat: sudo rpm -i spacedesk-viewer_v1.0.0_Linux.rpm

Run the app: Open your terminal and type spacedesk-viewer to start the application and connect to your Windows host. Top Recommended Linux Alternatives

Because spacedesk lacks a native Linux driver (to use Linux as the main PC), users often turn to these alternatives:

Deskreen: An open-source app that turns any device with a web browser into a second screen for your computer. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Official spacedesk support for Linux remains limited

Weylus: Excellent for turning a tablet into a graphic tablet or second screen specifically for Linux hosts.

Sunshine + Moonlight: Originally for gaming, this combination is highly regarded for low-latency desktop streaming and can be used to extend displays.

Virt-Screen: A GUI tool to create a secondary virtual display on Linux and share it via VNC.

Instalação

No Windows:

1. Baixe o servidor spacedesk no site oficial.
2. Instale normalmente. Durante a instalação, o driver de vídeo virtual será instalado – reinicie se necessário.
3. Após iniciar, clique no ícone da bandeja e vá em "HTML5 Client Settings".
4. Marque "Enable HTML5 Client" e anote a porta (padrão: 8080).

No Linux:

Opciones prácticas para usar spacedesk en Linux

1. Usar el cliente web de spacedesk (más sencillo, con limitaciones)

   • Abrir el navegador Chromium/Chrome/Edge en Linux y acceder a la dirección IP:puerto que el servidor spacedesk en Windows anuncia (normalmente via HTTP).
   • Ventajas: sin instalar software; funciona en muchas distribuciones.
   • Limitaciones: rendimiento y compatibilidad reducidos frente a clientes nativos; entrada táctil/pen y aceleración hardware limitada.

2. Ejecutar el cliente Windows en Linux mediante Wine/Proton

   • Instalar Wine o Proton (Steam) y probar a ejecutar el instalador del cliente spacedesk para Windows.
   • Ventajas: potencial para mejor compatibilidad que la web.
   • Limitaciones: no garantizado; puede requerir configuración de bibliotecas (vcruntime, DirectX); rendimiento variable.

3. Usar una máquina virtual o contenedor con Windows

   • Correr una VM ligera (VirtualBox, QEMU/KVM) con Windows y el cliente spacedesk dentro; conectar desde Linux al VM o usar passthrough para pantalla secundaria.
   • Ventajas: más fiable; comportamiento idéntico a Windows.
   • Limitaciones: sobrecarga de recursos; configuración más compleja.

4. Alternativas nativas multiplataforma

   • Considerar alternativas diseñadas para Linux: Deskreen (web-based), WayVNC/Waypipe+remote desktop solutions, VNC con extensión de pantalla virtual (xrandr + virtual display), orxdisplay/virtdisplay proyectos que crean pantallas virtuales.
   • Ventajas: mejor integración con X11/Wayland; opciones de baja latencia y control/input.
   • Limitaciones: pueden requerir más configuración y no replican exactamente las funcionalidades de spacedesk.

c) Deskreen (ferramenta web baseada em Electron)

Deskreen permite transformar qualquer dispositivo com navegador em segundo monitor. Não requer app cliente. O projeto foi descontinuado em 2024, mas surgiu um fork ativo chamado LoomScreen – esse sim é a novidade para quem busca spacedesk-like. Instalação No Windows:

Instalação do LoomScreen (alternativa nova):

git clone https://github.com/loomscreen/loomscreen
cd loomscreen
./install.sh

Acesse http://seu-ip:3030 de qualquer dispositivo. Você pode escolher uma área da tela ou monitor inteiro. A latência é maior que spacedesk via Ethernet, mas excelente para documentos e vídeos.
