really enjoyed using wireless monitors rather than using a HDMI

Miracast, but development seems to have fizzled out. Has anyone got
this working with Fedora? Thoughts on why this technology seems to
be lacking in the *nix world? Seems like every TV and even new Dell
monitors have this built in so IMHO it's not some fringe feature
anymore.
The technology exists, I've seen it demo'ed. Getting it to work
requires unusually high levels of expertise with both wpa_supplicant
and GNOME (or similar), and I think that lack of critical developer
mass has been the real hinderance.
