        Well, there’s always the possibility of a Wayland compatibility upgrade. I know it’s a lot, but these guys are nerds hard-core about this, and thank God for that, too.

          Works great on AMD as well. I moved from a 2800 Super to an AMD 7900xt, and its almost latency free even at 4k on gigabit wired. Reasonable on WiFi, even across the house.

          Wrong reply my bad

      Give Sunshine (host) and Moonlight (client) a try.

      Haaaaaands down better quality and latency.

      I would love to see Valve embrace these projects and integrate them for streaming in app at least, maybe even run on Links?

        Ooh! I’ve been looking for something like this, but didn’t know the right words to google.

        Does Sunshine/Moonlight only work on PCs that have Nvidia cards, or also those with AMD video cards?

        Read further down to this comment that had a link to the product page and what it supported.

        Thank you to those who had already responded.

      Steam Link is a piece of hardware in this case, not the software you are discussing (I would guess?).

      One of the primary reasons for moving to Wayland is it’s native security when it comes to screen sharing. To properly screen share you need xdg-desktop-portal installed. You should then get a selection window on the server side asking which window you want to share over the steam link session with the client.

      A lot of people just use moonlight/sunshine now though instead of steamlink.
