moonlight-qt VS Sunshine

> I’m sure there’s a way to transmit those frames over a network if one was clever enough

Something like Sunshine[1], coupled with Moonlight[2]?

I found this https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/issues/967

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.

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.

You can also use Sunshine as a game streaming server: https://github.com/SunshineStream/Sunshine And Moonlight as a client: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt

GitHub: https://github.com/SunshineStream/Sunshine/releases

Try x11vnc, or maybe Sunshine/Moonlight

You can use AMD/Intel also without problems. Just use https://github.com/SunshineStream/Sunshine for the server / host PC. Been using this for quite a while, Linux desktop with AMD as host, nVidia shield with moonlight as client.

this might be worth a shot (if you’re looking for a way to do “full” OSS Moonlight) https://github.com/SunshineStream/Sunshine

Currently, whats working best for me is using Sunshine as the stream server hosting games or media, and the Moonlight clients wherever. The moonlight protocol is an open implementation of a Geforce streaming protocol, but it works fine with Radeon cards (I use one). There are clients for Android, Linux and Windows. I use the embedded client on my RaspberryPi 3B+ for 1080p/60 gaming in my living room. The latency is very low, but I wouldn't use it for fast reaction gaming.

Try Sunshine - https://github.com/SunshineStream/Sunshine It is an open source implementation of GameStream host. It will work with Moonlight client.

I am thinking about installing a GUI, steam, and maybe a streaming app like Sunshine so I can play games on my laptop, phone, and TV that has a raspberry pi connected. I know it's unconventional to have a GUI and games on a otherwise standard NAS and docker server. I do plan to keep the scope limited to games and streaming - I won't use it as a web browser or any other day to day activities.
