Could you build this?
Partial The setup wizard and desktop toggle are easy to vibe-code. The core, low-latency streaming of a second screen with touch and input forwarding on KDE Plasma, requires Wayland, PipeWire, hardware encoding, and networking work that AI assistance alone won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine a Linux daemon using PipeWire/xdg-desktop-portal screen capture, a hardware H.264 or HEVC encoder (VAAPI), and a low-latency transport such as WebRTC or custom UDP. A virtual-display or extended-desktop path via KWin is also needed. The hard parts are sub-50 ms latency, Wayland capture permissions, and touch-to-input mapping across hardware. Building it well requires systems and multimedia engineering experience with Linux graphics.
