summary
WSDD for service discovery under Windows, as it is too incompetent to use Avahi/Zeroconf

Why?

This enables Windows to still see some major Linux services, as it is too incompetent to use some broadly available solution like Avahi. With newer Windows versions also the support for NETBIOS names has been removed, so newer Windows versions can't even see any Samba share anymore...

Install

Navigate to here to get the newest wsdd binaries for Debian. Then download & install it:

wget "[PATH_TO_WSDD_DEB_FILE]"
sudo apt install ./[WSDD_DEB_FILE]
sudo systemctl enable wsdd

Done. That's it!
