Hello,
I will need to use a projector with a PC running Linux Mint.
I initially tried connecting it to the TV via an HDMI cable
but I couldn't establish a connection!
Do I need to add any utility on Linux?
Thank you.

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 90.0.4430.212

    Hi,

    A laptop?

        Thank you Pierrecastor.
        In fact, I was notified about the "display" window on the PC. Once connected to the TV via HDMI, I was able to request screen detection, then "duplicate these displays," which cloned the two screens.
        One issue resolved, but I'm anxious about doing the same with a projector, since I can't test that before an event I have to present in front of 20 people on Thursday; I don't have a projector.
        Do you think it will be the same procedure?
