Setting up Sunshine and Moonlight for high performance game streaming on Linux

    Sunshine worked brilliantly under Windows 11, but unfortunately on Linux it lacks the ability to encode the video stream using my RX 7800 XT and microstutters like crazy.

      I guess the question is did you set up VA-API and do you have an processor with integrated graphics?

      When I set my instance up, I had to do just a bit of ID’ing since my processor/MB has a iGPU at device 0 that was for debugging purposes and wasn’t going to be up to snuff for encoding.

        I don’t know if it’s the encoder or Wayland being Wayland, but there stutters on the stream (but not the host screen) using VA-API.

        Using the same host/receiver on windows (but a different encoder) there’s no issue so not sure it’s related to VRR or framerate matching as many suggest.

      Sunshine has managed to brick my displays twice on Linux. It’s wild how poor sunshine is on Linux.

      Moonlight works flawlessly tho.
