Setting up Sunshine and Moonlight for high performance game streaming on Linux
Can you run this headless, or do you need Wayland running?
You can. Look at “Games on Whales” github. I run it daily with that hosting in a server and streaming on my tv
Thank you, I will check this out!
Sunshine worked brilliantly under Windows 11, but unfortunately on Linux it lacks the ability to encode the video stream using my RX 7800 XT and microstutters like crazy.
Sunshine should be able to do hardware encoding for that GPU, it has support for VA-API
I don’t know if it’s the encoder or Wayland being Wayland, but there stutters on the stream (but not the host screen) using VA-API.
Using the same host/receiver on windows (but a different encoder) there’s no issue so not sure it’s related to VRR or framerate matching as many suggest.
My 7900xt works great, could Be some other issue

No output errors at all. It actually runs at high frame rates and high resolution. No matter what res or frame cap or bandwidth limit it will microstutter in predictable ways :(
I’ve tried Sunshine and Moonlight, on both Bazzite (pre-installed and configured) and CachyOS (pacman and AUR).

I used this some time ago on a raspberry pi to steam games from my desktop to my couch and TV. It worked great. Now, I run it in my laptop and plug it to the TV from time to time. Still a great setup.
