Hey all, I’ve got an under powered laptop that I would like to stream Steam games to from my main PC (main PC has an AMD 9070XT, laptop has something like an Nvidia 1660). What I need to do is still be able to use my main PC while streaming to the laptop at the same time.

I’ve looked at solutions like moonlight, and I don’t recall it worked very well or didnt support having a virtual display. I don’t know that this is possible on Linux, but seems to be pretty easy to do on Windows.

What are my options here? Is it even viable to have a fully usable desktop while also utilising the GPU to stream games elsewhere?

    I’d probably have to still have a virtual display at the very least because the resolution of my main PC is ultrawide 3440x1440 and the laptop is only 1920x1080

      Scaling down or simply running at a lower resolution shouldn’t be a problem at all for most games.
