UW Moonlight Emulation Streaming to Steam Deck - Resolution Help
I haven't tried it yet but I found this a few months ago. It's supposed to automatically switch ultrawide resolutions to 1080p when moonlight starts. https://github.com/hansschmucker/NVStreamer1080/releases/tag/v1.0.0.0
- Just now trying out moonlight for the first time. Blown away by performance... Now how do I do something similar without the monitor on on my PC WITHOUT having to do a bunch of workarounds like a dummy plug (or even having to turn the monitor off)

Need some Sunshine setup help. Works fine on one device, not on a second.
I use NVStreamer to deal with automatically changing resolutions on the host when Sunshine activity is detected. It is awesome.

Sunshine: HEVC not supported (even though it should)

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.
