moonlight-qt VS sunshine

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.

and on my Ally: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/releases (the windows installer)

EDIT: Just checked again, original was released early 2020, current maintained project started 2022.

This was made with a Switch + Capture Card and a combination of my moonlight-wiiu port, sunshine and nxbt.

You can run https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine as an alternative to GFE in February. With Moonlight as the client. It's not 100% there, but still pretty good.

There's an alternative to Moonlight called Sunshine you could try.

Im assuming that this project is just a fork of the original sunshine project ( https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine ) for the sake of maintaining and updating it and continued development. It looks like the docs page for this new fork is more thorough, but the Readme thats shown on Github should probably have more immediate directions for installation and the things needed for the gamepad support. The less clicks people need to go through to get things set up and running, the better the experience for everyone its gonna be.

For anyone that wants to still use/run Moonlight after this is shut off, there is an open source gamestream server called sunshine that should realistically still work. I used this previously with an AMD 5700XT, and never had any issues with it, and it performs significantly better then the Steam Link app did.

I think this is the official one https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine
