I am currently arguing what to do with my gaming rig and home theater. Either get a long cable which would need a DP-to-HDMI adapter or get a used mini PC (which is currently cheaper than a Raspberry Pi?) and setup Sunshine and Moonlight (but over WiFi and not LAN) to be more flexible when I eventually move the two into separate rooms. Does anyone have some experience with that? Maybe also latency over wireless network?
I use sunshine and moonlight using a pi 5 running Android TV as the client. It works perfectly for the occasional video stream but latency for games is a bit rough. You'll probably be fine playing something relaxed like Stardew Valley but platformers (I've tried Ultimate Chicken Horse) and racing games (Mario Kart Wii running in Dolphin) are just bad enough to be unplayable. This is with both devices connected over Ethernet (albeit through a powerline adapter and my router is fairly cheap) so WiFi will probably be worse.
Not sure if sunshine and moonlight just have loads of overhead or if there's a part of my setup causing the latency.
I don’t have the quantitative metrics, but I will say that I had the flu last year and I just laid on the couch with my steam deck and streamed cyberpunk using Moonlight. The latency was imperceptible to my flu brain, and it was a much better experience than playing for an hour at a much lower quality natively on the deck. I have a friend who also streams his desktop to his Apple TV (hardwired desktop, wireless Apple TV) and he beat metal gear solid V like that.
