Apollo

I think this is one of the things that the Apollo fork[1] makes way easier. I'm not sure that I had to do anything Apollo config wise* . I just went through the Windows HDR calibration tool the first time to tune it for my TV and it was good after. *I do have a once-per-run Moonlight glitch that may even be because I'm on an older version. The first connection just doesn't pick up on the HDR immediately. I just have to reconnect once and it's good after that.

I have my Windows gaming rig in a rack at home, and run Apollo [1] on it. Using that, I can game on any Apple TV (with an Xbox controller) or the MacBook (connected to a display/keyboard/mouse) anywhere in my home. With wired networking 60fps at 4K is no problem at all. This would be easy to set up the other way around, too: having a gaming rig on your desk with Moonlight, and running Linux on another machine somewhere in the network with Apollo to host the development setup. No KVM (or KVM-equipped monitor) or other special hardware needed. 1: https://github.com/ClassicOldSong/Apollo

May want to give Apollo a try: https://github.com/ClassicOldSong/Apollo (re Sunshine)

Use Apollo (a fork of Sunshine) : https://github.com/ClassicOldSong/Apollo > Built-in Virtual Display with HDR support that matches the resolution/framerate config of your client automatically It includes a virtual screen driver, and it handles all the crap (it can disable your physical screen when streaming and re enable after, it can generate the virtual screen by client to match the client's needs, or do it by game, or ...) I stream from my main pc to both my laptop and my steamdeck, and each get the screen that matches them without having to do anything more than connect to it with moonlight.

Yes, they build off other open source projects and list them in the README. I actually do run moonlight + sunshine myself, and have for more than a year. It's not too difficult to setup, depends on what you want to achieve. I hadn't heard of wolf [0], but it checks a lot of boxes that sunshine does not. Namely, it supports multiple clients at once, multiple streams, and virtual displays out of the box (Linux + container first is almost neat). Sunshine is more for allowing your gaming desktop to be used as for game streaming. There's also a fork of sunshine, Apollo [1], that's more similar to wolf.

> in sunshine/moonlight such as you still have monitor output Apollo[1] fixes this problem really neatly - there's a "Virtual Desktop" option that adds a virtual desktop, and you can disable all the local monitors while in this session so that a local person doesn't see your desktop while you're remoted into it (just remember to lock after you end your session!). I believe it also preserves monitor layouts when starting/ending sessions. I used Sunshine and had a bunch of hacks in the startup/teardown scripts to get the same behavior but it was really brittle. Apollo makes this work out of the box. [1] https://github.com/ClassicOldSong/Apollo
