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 just use steam. The remote play works fine. You can actually access the full desktop by going into the steam software menu. My desktop is Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04LTS, ryzen 5800x, 9070xt, 32gb ram, and 4tb nvme. My client is an Asus ROG G75VW - i7 3610QM, GTX 660M running Ubuntu Budgie 24.04LTS.

    I’ve played games, edited video, and other standard pc stuff this way without issue. I have two monitors connected to my desktop, one is a 32" 1440p 144hz landscape orientation via display port the other is a 24" 1080p 60 hz portrait orientation via HDMI. So can’t say much about resolution output and frequency compatibility.
