scrcpy, a tool to display and control Android devices from your desktop, was added recently to the Debian testing (bullseye) and sid, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa repositories. As a result, the popular tool will also be in upcoming releases for other Linux distributions based on these Debian or Ubuntu versions, like Pop!_OS 20.04 or Elementary OS 6 Odin.
scrcpy is a free and open source application that can be used to show an Android device's screen on a Linux, macOS or Windows desktop, allowing you to control it remotely. This can be done by connecting your Android device to a computer either via USB or wirelessly.
The application focuses on lightness, performance and quality. Using it you get 30~60 FPS on an 1920x1080 screen resolution or more, with a latency between 35 and 70 ms. Also, it has a low startup time and is non-intrusive, leaving nothing on the Android device after it's used.
It should also be noted that scrcpy does not require root access in order to work.
