I don't have an answer but I am piggybacking off your question:
Is it possible to flash another OS on the last gen Chromecast? Considering what's happening to the gen 2, I don't see a very bright future for my Chromecast.
I'm using macast. no recent development but works fine for what I need it (play full-screen video with mpv when sent from mobile device). on the phone you need allcast or similar app that you share the e.g. youtube video to.
You can look for a tv box that can run libre elec or core elec (Linux distros) through a mounted sd card
They make wireless hdmi adapters to just stream from one device to a display.
What are you trying to send and receive on?

Laptops mostly
Literally a wireless HDMI? What's the source you're thinking of?
This might work for kodi
TubeCast is not a full Chromecast implementation nor will it ever be. It only supports the first revision of the Cast protocol and will only keep working while Google keeps backwards compatibility with the Cast V1 protocol in their youtube mobile applications (at least for service discovery).
This disclaimer doesn't sound too confident, but if it works for op, then it should be good in the meantime.

Is Microsoft (Pepsi) ok?
I don't know if they still sell it but I have a Miracast hdmi dongle. (Wireless display adapter)
its so ridiculous though that miracast somehow cannot work with a wired network, but only directly through wireless
Yeah that hurts my brain too, but I have given up asking these questions?

Raspberry Pi with Plex?
For casting?
Yes it should work https://support.plex.tv/articles/201214366-casting-support/
That's the Plex app casting to a Chromecast
You are right. My bad
I like the Roku. They do other things too, but the casting seems to work well.
Roku is a privacy nightmare now.
