This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux_gaming

  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • obs-studio

    OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording

  • This is amazing! I hope this means also dmabuf/zero-copy. Similar dmabuf support was added recently to Chromium, and there's a WIP PR for OBS, so desktop capture, streaming, and remoting might start to look much better on Linux.

  • sunshine

    Host for Moonlight Streaming Client (by loki-47-6F-64)

  • Did you already try the Moonlight - Sunshine combo? It's not as plug and play as parsec but once it's set up it should be close enough.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • RemotePlayWhatever

    Tiny application that lets you force remote play together any game you have in your steam library including non-steam ones.

  • With Steam Play Together? It automatically stops streaming if you tab out of the game, and it only allows games marked as allowed to let you stream. You can trick it by using a donor game and having it redirect to something else, but those are the limitations.
