I’m extremely interested in the prospect of self-hosted cloud gaming. Has anyone had any success with any specific platforms, such as Sunshine + Moonlight? Any ins/outs to the necessary software or hardware?

        They don’t do the same thing: Sunshine is intended to stream a single physical desktop.

        Games on Whales runs headlessly and creates virtual desktops for each session in a Docker environment.

        For example, you can create an instance that runs at 800p so you can stream to your Steam Deck at its native resolution. You can even still use your desktop normally since the streams run in the background.

        Both of them support connection via Moonlight.

          Thanks. I might try it because I stream to either my phone or my tablet depending on the game, and they have different resolutions.
