Is there a Chromecast equivalent? (programming.dev)

I'm not looking for Chromecast but I have a Linux system hooked up to a TV and ether net. I want a way to pick a YouTube or Amazon prime or Netflix video on my phone and display it on the TV via the Linux pc. Is that possible? If so what software can do it?

It's my understanding that anything doing this would also need to also emulate Chromecast, since the "cast" buttons inside the Amazon Prime/Netflix/Spotify/etc apps uses the proprietary Chromecast protocol.
