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.

Can someone please help me set up WireGuard for Moonlight streaming purposes?
I might be misunderstanding something, but isn’t this what you’re looking for?

Streaming TOTK Yuzu to Steam Deck (Moonlight) - How do I do this?
Oh! That reminds me. If you want to stream to your Steam Deck across networks, you'll need the Moonlight Internet Hosting Tool which is very straightforward.
- Steam deck? No thanks. Running android on my switch with the moonlight app. Currently not home and the game is running surprisingly really well. (Better than pokemon)

Rainway stuck
To ba able to stream via internet https://github.com/moonlight-stream/Internet-Hosting-Tool/releases I have AMD GPU so no luck for me. I use Sunshine on LAN only. So I use parsec if I want to connect remotely.

Should we have hopes again for iOS?
Moonlight has an Internet Streaming tool download that allows you to game from outside your home network.
- You have a gaming PC and you don't want to mess around with 3rd party game libraries and enjoy 6 hours of handheld gaming with maxed out titles? Give Moonlight a try. My mind is blown.
- Yuzu through the Steam app and I have no controls
