Sunshine worked brilliantly under Windows 11, but unfortunately on Linux it lacks the ability to encode the video stream using my RX 7800 XT and microstutters like crazy.
Sunshine uses VA-API for AMD GPUs, works fine on my RX 6600
Sunshine should be able to do hardware encoding for that GPU, it has support for VA-API
My 7900xt works great, could Be some other issue
I used this some time ago on a raspberry pi to steam games from my desktop to my couch and TV. It worked great. Now, I run it in my laptop and plug it to the TV from time to time. Still a great setup.
Can you run this headless, or do you need Wayland running?
You can. Look at "Games on Whales" github. I run it daily with that hosting in a server and streaming on my tv
… what exactly do you intend to stream without a display server running? Yes you can run it headless, but you still need x11 or wayland obviously.
This might be a time when an ignorant point of view helps, like mine. I don't know anything about Wayland- Is it like Zululand but where the Way tribe lives? Anyway, my naive assumption is OP was wondering if you can run it on a server that does not have a display plugged in.
Duh, stream a b&w tty terminal in all of its glory! What is ssh?

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.
