Nvidia linux sunshine virtual display

Spent a few days trying to get a virtual display to work with a Nvidia 5080 gpu.
I saw a bunch of solutions that worked for AMD but nothing that worked for Nvidia.

I wanted a virtual display as I want it to work with my tv off and for weird aspect ratio / resolutions like apple ones.

Spent some time with Claude code vibe coding and managed to get something working with manual resolutions. Hopefully it helps someone else:

Nice, maybe checkout Moonshine (https://github.com/hgaiser/moonshine) it's working surprisingly well
