What are the best ways to stream games from Linux to other devices?
Asked by

I've been using Parsec to stream games when I'm on the go, but I'm running into issues since Parsec doesn't support Linux. I also tried Sunshine, but it doesn't work with Wayland, and I'd rather not switch to X11 since my setup is optimized for Wayland. I'm looking for some more streamlined alternatives to Parsec. Any suggestions?

I’ve had decent success with Sunshine and Moonlight, but keep in mind it relies a lot on your Wi-Fi quality. If the connection is poor, the streaming experience isn’t great.

I actually have Sunshine and Moonlight set up on Wayland without much trouble. The Sunshine documentation has some extra steps you might need to follow, so be sure to check that out. Oh, and your specific hardware might make a difference too!

Switching to X11 isn't too much of a hassle! You can still use the same desktop environment as before; just choose X11 or Wayland when you log in. By the way, Steam Remote Play is also worth checking out!

Sunshine works fine on Wayland for me. Plus, if you're looking for alternatives to Parsec, you might want to try Tailscale—it could be a solid option!

Have you considered using Steam Remote Play? It works pretty smoothly for most games and should run well on Linux too!
