TethrLink streams a virtual display from your Linux PC to an Android tablet over a direct USB tethering connection — no Wi-Fi, no cloud, no latency spikes.
The PC captures a dedicated virtual screen via the Mutter ScreenCast D-Bus API, encodes frames with GStreamer (JPEG or H.264), and pushes them over a private USB subnet. The Android client decodes and renders them fullscreen in real time.
Features: • Zero-config transport — USB tethering, no router needed • Independent virtual display • Dual codec — software JPEG or GStreamer H.264 • GTK4 + Libadwaita dark desktop UI • UDP auto-discovery
