No output errors at all. It actually runs at high frame rates and high resolution. No matter what res or frame cap or bandwidth limit it will microstutter in predictable ways :(

I’ve tried Sunshine and Moonlight, on both Bazzite (pre-installed and configured) and CachyOS (pacman and AUR).

mine logs it as such:

Info: Found H.264 encoder: h264_vaapi [vaapi]
Info: Found HEVC encoder: hevc_vaapi [vaapi]

after a bunch of messages about trying some codecs and setting bitrate and color depth for the found encoders. connecting with a client should show you no errors and a message with the selected encoder.

if the encoders are showing up as properly detected and selected in the logs, then you might want to look into something else as encoders are probably not the cause, though you can try cpu encoding to see if that changes anything for a clue.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
