> Would the Swift UI also work on an iPad? Yes, but probably not for the first version. > Do you have any comparisons with other tools (eg steam streaming, moonlight) Steam streaming just doesn't really work on linux. Moonlight is somewhat similar in terms of direction, and has an established client base. I know of at least two projects to build servers for the Moonlight protocol[1][2]. The Moonlight protocol is a bit weird, because it's an open-source reverse engineering of a NVIDIA project, GeForce now. There are fundamental limitations to the protocol, for example that the cursor must be rendered in-stream or simulated. Using my tool, the cursor is rendered locally, and custom cursor images can actually be pushed to the client, for a seamless experience. This sounds like a minor detail but it matters a lot for subjective latency. I'm a

lso working on employing tricks like hierarchical coding using FEC in the protocol, because I hate VBR encoding for games (it makes text blurry and breaks immersion). Those tricks aren't really possible in Moonlight. All of the Linux solutions I know about have significantly higher latency compared to Magic Mirror, although I don't have numbers for exactly how much higher. (I have a benchmark to test the latency of my tool, but the others don't.) I'd encourage you to try them out and get a feel for the difference. Finally, I think Magic Mirror is the easiest to install and get going on the server. It has almost zero runtime library or service dependencies (there's a pesky dynamic link against libxkbcommon which I haven't managed to remove), so you don't need to mess with pipewire or docker or anything - it's completely self-contained. All that said, the existing tools have the advantage of a larger user and contributor base, whereas Magic Mirror is just me on a mission so far :) So they're likely to be much more stable and usable.

To install a ublue-os distro, you install any of the Fedora ostree distros: {Silverblue, Kinoite, Sway Atomic, or Budgie Atomic} from e.g. a USB stick and then `rpm-ostree rebase <OCI_host_image_url>`: rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:stable rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:stable rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed: ublue-os/config//build/ublue-os-just/40-nvidia.just defines the `ujust configure-nvidia` and `ujust toggle-nvk` commands: https://github.com/ublue-os/config/blob/main/build/ublue-os-...
