i vaguely remember a post from a couple weeks ago that was about some way to stream games (either via SteamLink or Moonlight/Sunshine) from a Linux Server to a mini-PC…
I can’t find it and i want to hear your opinions / experiences about this. I got a minisforum running BazziteOS hooked on my TV. I got a Server that has an Ryzen 5 2600X and NVidia GTX1660 Super with 16GB of RAM. This server runs my WhisperAPI for Home Assistant on GPU, Plex with HW-Transcoding that’s why i put the GPU in there.
Now i thought about making it able to run games on that and be able to stream them on my MinisForum because the little one is struggling hard to get BG3 and comparable titles to run at acceptable quality :D
Does someone have experience with that or maybe even remembers the post i can’t find anymore :D
If you’re using Sunshine on an nvidia system, you’ll have to patch your nvidia driver to be able to use nvenc and nvfbc without restriction. Check out this repo for more info: https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch
Iirc sunshine still need nvfbc to grab the rendered frames.
Use NVIDIA Frame Buffer Capture to capture direct to GPU memory. This is usually the fastest method for NVIDIA cards. For GeForce cards it will only work with drivers patched with nvidia-patch or nvlax.

What would my advantages be here after using the patches?
I plan to only connect one single client to my host at any given moment. So i don’t think i need the restrictions lifted i guess?
