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?

Edit: ended up using Wolf and seemed to work perfectly. Certainly good enough to do what I set out to achieve, thanks for the recommendation.

    Do you want to still use your laptop for other stuff?

    Doesn’t Steam have the SteamLink stuff open sourced? Can you just install that and make the laptop a SteamLink client? I think people do it with Raspberry Pis all the time
