moonlight-docs VS HeliosDisplayManagement

I actually have a setup a cool gamepad layout using steam so controller is not an issue, I already play with a controller on my PC. The issue is streaming quality. I've tried with Moonlight and Steam Link (using NVIDIA SHIELD GameStream like this)

You need to install nvidia game experience on your PC, and moonlight on your shield, then follow instructions from the setup guide

There is a guide on how to do it: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide

Moonlight can also stream your local games over Internet so you dont need to be on the same Wifi network, but that requires an additional software on your PC. Check the guide here (scroll down to Streaming Over The Internet): https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide/2e7b42f5c37fcaef103ef64e893d0964069d7ffe

Is it an nvidia graphics card? If so ive had better success with moonlight. https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide Ive gotten 120fps 1080p streaming with 0 frame loss

Not particularly, especially since you likely already have NVIDIA GeForce Experience installed. You can follow the setup guide here. It may look daunting, but it's really just a variety of alternatives if the automatic configuration doesn't work or you want a specific configuration.

you can also read moonlight’s page about it

DisplayMagician is made for simracers, and is a fork of Helios Display Management that has some extra features. Once setup, you can have a shortcut on your desktop to easily switch between monitor layouts. On my setup, I hit an icon and it will disable my desktop monitors and switch over to my simrig monitor which sounds similar to your needs. The advantage of this software is it is automating the standard windows monitor enable/disable/positioning so it is very quick and more reliable than other methods. If you want to take it a step further you can script it, for example mine will flick to a certain layout when opening a specific program or game.

Hey gang, I currently own four monitors connected to my PC's GTX1070; an Acer X34 as my primary on my desk and 3 AOC C27G2s set up on my racing simulator. Ideally, I'd love to be able‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­to run the triples at 5850x1080@165hz, with the X34 at 3440x1440@95hz. Currently, I can do this on Windows with Nvidia Surround and Helios Display Management, where the latter allows me to switch between two display profiles (one for the triples & one for the X34 on its own). I'd love to be able to purge Windows completely, preferably by switching to Manjaro KDE - which of course uses the Plasma DE. I'm not married to that though, and any Linux-solution that could achieve this setup would be gladly accepted :) TL;DR: Does anyone know a means of setting up a "Surround + Accessory" display profile in Linux? Or alternatively, setting up two separate profiles that can be switched between relatively easily? Any ideas/advice to get me pointed in the right direction here would be sincerely appreciated!

I've been using https://github.com/falahati/HeliosDisplayManagement to quickly change between surround and not-surround.

I’ve used Helios display manager https://github.com/falahati/HeliosDisplayManagement

I use Helios Display Management for quick monitor arrangement changes.

Set up the triples using nvidia surround, win-P should allow you to quickly switch between triples and desk monitor. This is how I did it when I had triples & 1x desk, unfortunately I’m not sure how it would handle 2x desk. You might be worth looking at https://github.com/falahati/HeliosDisplayManagement

Enable multi projection like Skipmaster said also this is a great tool for switching display modes that I use frequently https://github.com/falahati/HeliosDisplayManagement

Currently, I can do this on Windows with Nvidia Surround and Helios Display Management, where the latter allows me to switch between two display profiles (one for the triples & one for the X34 on its own).
