I had to livestream my child's funeral. I didn't want to use an iPad, or have an iPhone in someones hand livestreaming to facebook, as I thought I needed to do better, being a techie, so I rolled with my own.
Someone recommended Owncast (should out to Gabe), tried it on my System76 Meerkat that I use for my TV, and it worked a treat. I bought an Asus ZenScreen so I could use a portable monitor (without its own power supply), and just use a single extension cord for the Meerkat. I wanted to keep it as bs-free, and simple as I could.
I had issues getting the monitor to work, even though S76 had something in their FAQ about setting it up. I tried and failed, and with the funeral fast approaching, I emailed their support (months after I had purchased), not only was it answered pretty quickly, but I got a personal call from them with instructions on how to fix my issue, and it worked! Can't rate them high enough - and Pop!_OS is a bloody wonderful OS!

- junon 5y agoWhat a roller coaster of a comment. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times already but I'll pile on. I'm very sorry for your loss.
- samstave 5y agoI have two AOC monitors, one is 1920x180 crisp and clear and great it was ~$180 when I bought it [0] The other is 1366x768 or whatever, but it was only $69 when I bought it. But this one isnt too bright and has a poor viewing angle. I use them both with my 15" HP Omen, and they work fantastic as a 3-monitor Laptop Setup... I use the high quality one for extra screen space for apps like illustrator , running a browser with say - youtube tutorials etc... And I use the poorer quality one for text reading - or playing a youtube tutorial if I am learning something like, again, how to draw something in Illustrator.
