    I love what you did with the meme

    I started with linux mint, and if I had to start again I would still go with mint as my first distro. It was just familiar enough while allowing me to figure out what was different on linux. I only switched to arch due to the quality of the wiki and the AUR (after a short trial run of manjaro).

    Btw, what happened with VNC? Archwiki only redirects to a shallow article of tightvnc.

    Should i go with something different for gaming (no lag)? Rustdesk does lag.

    I've had good luck with the streaming in Steam. It used to be called in home streaming, but they changed the name and I forget what is called. It works very well in the house, I've used it to play some games with difficult platforming and it was fine. It even works over the Internet, although I assume there would be some lag that way. I've only played civilization 6 from a different location so I couldn't tell if it was lagging.

    Easy to set up too, just turn on the option for the host and open steam. From the client, log in with the same username and turn it on. When you look at your games, you have the option of playing local or remote.

    Make sure you use hardware video decoding, I had a ton of lag before I got that working right

    That's an option for Steam games, thanks. But most of my games are from other sources (isthereanydeal) and adding them all to steam is a pain.

    Not necessarily just steam games. I use the Steam Link app on my home TV connected via Ethernet, and you can boot straight into your desktop. Theoretically I could play or do anything I wanted as if it were my main desktop if I plugged in a mouse and keyboard.

    Is there any easy remote desktop solution for gaming at all on Linux?
    From what I've seen it's all either too hard, at least for me, to get running (Sunshine/Moonlight) or not performant enough (anything VNC or RDP based, Rustdesk without self-hosting the server)

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    VNC is supposed to be the more performant solution. Is there any better?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    Theoretically Sunshine as I understand would be best, but I never got it to work, maybe I should try again.
    VNC may be good, but probably the limitation for me is the network speed, I just remember that in that in the past when I used Parsec on Windows it was pretty good, even though my network was even worse than it is today, but I liked it especially because it was stupid easy to set up

    People who don't RTFM do archTFM.

    You spelled Debian wrong in this comic about the supreme Linux distribution.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    Arch wiki is really really great, a big thank you to all its contributors.

    I use Debian btw. 🍻
