Alternative to Steam Link/Sunshine?

Unless it’s a limitation specific to Linux, or you’re talking about the physical Steam Link and not the app: No you don’t.
I just unplugged my monitor from my PC, fired up the Steam Link app and started Elden Ring no problem.

I’m talking about the host machine.

Yes, that is obvious.

We support podman, you just have to enable the Podman System Service so that Wolf can use that socket to spin up and down additional containers.
I really should add a section in the quickstart guide…
Many thanks, I will look into this.

I’m not sure if I am just picky but I have literally tried everything on brand new wifi 6 and access points and it just never is that perfect feeling, I always notice a tiny bit of input lag and I’m not sure if it’s possible to fix it at all. Playable, but I just can’t do it - miles ahead of cloud gaming still.
I found steam link to be heavily game dependant because of the input lag. It’s not a great solution for fps games, but anything that didn’t require fast reactions was fine.

How… how else would this be referred to? What would be the point in starting it headless on the client side?

I have no idea. But they seem to be confused in some way.

That’s what I use
Edit: I see you’re using linux though, I can’t really speak to its performance there as I only use it for windows
Can’t setup a parsec host on Linux only a client.
Some motherboards lock out video output without something plugged in but never found one that did it with a dedicated video card. You can always just plug in an HDMI dummy plug to get around an expected display requirement.

I have an exclusive gaming PC. Ideally what I’d like to do is shove it in a closet or other vacant room to contain the heat and then stream games over LAN.
The problem with existing solutions is:
- They need a monitor connected
- The monitor to be powered on
- They don’t support varying refresh rates/resolutions. Only whatever is displayed on the connected monitor. I want to play on my 4k/60Hz TV in the living room for AAA visual spectacle games that work best with controller, and the 1440p/120Hz display in my office for FPS or otherwise fast-moving games that demand KBM, and the 5k monitor for photo/video editing.
- I haven’t had much success getting these working at all. Red screens, 1/4 screens, image noise, etc.
They’re literally just mirroring the screen of the connected display.
I really don’t want to have to buy a dedicated PC for each use-case. Does a solution like this exist? What are their pros and cons? Preferably something that doesn’t require a degree in software engineering.
Currently I am using Bazzite OS with 5700x + 6800xt, if that matters.
I just got a 10 m HDMI cable that brings 4k 120Hz video from my office to my living room. Then I use a bluetooth mouse and gamepad.

- HDMI signal well start degrading after a couple of meters.
- My office is a lot further than that.
- I don’t want cables all over my house.
