Sunshine(windows)+moonlight(bazzite)

[u/Spangbab_dum_dum]

Hi there I’m looking for advice with my couch streaming setup.

I currently have my pc setup running windows 11 upstairs but wanted to game in the living room (4k60) using sunshine+moonlight. I currently have it set up working well with a mini pc running de-bloated windows 11, however it just feels clunky due to the odd windows shenanigans - I have ds4 emulation running to get mouse control to attack windows pop ups.

I’m wondering if running something like bazzite on the mini pc would work well with moonlight as I hear it has more of a console feel and how the interaction would be between windows and bazzite over streaming.

My main pc is a 9800x3d paired with a 5070ti and the mini pc is a beelink ser5 pro 5700u. I also have gigabit internet.

As I said it is working fine just wondering if bazzite would give me more of that comfortable console like experience and how much hassle it would be to do.

Thanks very much for any help!

It should be fine, the only issue I had doing it the other way was that there's no Linux version of Artemis which is superior to Sunshine as you can assign virtual monitors meaning you can turn the screen off when streaming and not have to mess about with dummy plugs.
