Does anyone now how to play TF2 on a switch lite?
So if you’re able to hack a Switch Lite you should be able to install Moonlight https://github.com/XITRIX/Moonlight-Switch and be able to play TF2. This would require you to have a PC that can run TF2.

NVidia: GameStream End of Service Notification [~mid-February]
Hm, this limitation is well documented. Are you sure you're not running at 8mbps? Even then, I still get quite a bit of frame delay.

Modded Switch OLED
Yes, with Moonlight Switch. I think for AMD GPUs there is an alternative but as far as I'm aware this is the best performing one.

Can you stream not FROM your switch , but TO your switch console?
That's the basics behind Moonlight, yes. You'll need that Switch client as well as the base setup for Moonlight.

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
You could use sunshine (https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine) + moonlight (https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt). To be honest, at least for me, it works better than most of the RDP/VNC stuff.

Introduction
I discovered the moonlight client and sunshine server a few months ago. These are open source solutions to provide remote gaming/desktop capabilities with built in input and audio passthrough. I tried NoMachine, but I wasn't able to get audio to work. This looks like a known issue on arch. On sunshine, I didn't have to do any extra tweaking! This allowed me to game on my desktop pc without having to sit at my desk. This was especially helpful while watching my 2nd son. I was really impressed by the performance, I could stream my host's display at high resolutions and frame rates with low latency despite my desktop being in the basement using WiFi. I was getting some instability with WiFi, so I wanted to try connecting my desktop to the router via Ethernet. I decided to go with a headless solution because that gives me more flexibility on the placement of the desktop; I ended up moving my desktop upstairs closer to my router. I figured out a way to stream my hosts display headless by using Nvidia TwinView to create the virtual display. This means I don't need to buy any HDMI/DP dummy plugs. I wrote a Linux Guide for sunshine on how to set this up. If you have any feedback on this guide, let me know! I haven't tried this, but wolf is an interesting docker alternative to sunshine.
