So a little background.

I have an RTX 4090, Ryzen 7700X, and 32GB of ram.

(side note: I’m thankful I just found the receipts, you’ll see why in a moment, but I paid $2200 CAD for everything but the GPU in 2022)

My PSU died, and I’m looking at a warranty now with EVGA for it.

What I’m thinking about, is racking the PC in my basement, and stream to my TVs.

The nicest TV is 4K@120Hz HDR.

I have a 10Gb backbone for my home networking, wired back to a mikrotik switch in my basement racked.

I’d like to run a headless box, and use those components to be able to game stream to thin clients around my house.

I tried moonlight before, not headless mind you, but the lack of virtual monitor support on KDE meant I couldn’t adjust resolutions to be higher than the output of the monitor plugged in.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

    I’ve used it a bit to play kingdom hearts on my tv from my laptop, and it works well. It uses sunshine/moonlight on the back, and manages containers for you. Gamepad from 8bitdo is connected via Bluetooth to the tv and it works no problem.

    I’m not a heavy gamer though, so there might be problems I either don’t notice or just live with. Laptop is running Bazzite, but I don’t think that matters.

    Edit: the tv is a tcl android tv, nothing special really. Moonlight is installed straight to the TV.
