I did exactly this but unfortunately it didn’t address the issue I was experiencing. I read the manual you linked and the support forum for Sunshine.

I posted about it in support forums and also got helpful advice about network latency, matching res and refresh rates to host, running Wayland only session, running game scope, using Apollo, etc.It unfortunately didn’t help.

I tried it on Bazzite (where it is preconfigured) and CachyOS and got the same result on both.

It suspect it’s the encoder but I think it could be a Wayland issue. I didn’t test X11 as that didn’t really suit my purposes.

I explored this issue pretty thoroughly and spent hours trying to solve it :(

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.
