After 3 years in the making I’m excited to announce the launch of Games on Whales, an innovative open-source project that revolutionizes virtual desktops and gaming. Our mission is to enable multiple users to stream different content from a single machine, with full HW acceleration and low latency.
With Games on Whales, you can:
Interested in how this works under the hood? You can read more about it in our developer guide or deep dive into the code.
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I’ve passed my display through to a VM in Proxmox for transcoding and now I can’t get the GUI for that VM.
Is this something that would allow me to connect to that VM on another PC and use a virtual desktop?
If so, I may have to have a play with it. I mean I’m happy away using SSH but why not have UI if I can?
Yep, this is one of the main reasons why I started this project in the first place: I wanted to stream games from the same VM where Jellyfin is running.
