From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What are the ways to stream a game and play it over the internet with friends? Only method I know of is by using Valve's Remote Play, are there any other alternatives?

You should be able to using Sunshine

This or steam remote play are the best options. Sunshine does have a bit of configuration you have to do but it works amazing

Sunshine is amazing so long as the streaming PC supports hvec(h265) encoding and the client likewise decoding. Sub 1ms lag is easily achievable. H264 works at a pinch on older clients but has lag. Hoping for AV1 support in the not too distant future. Note that you'll need to keep a low bitrate (30-40mbit) with the moonlight client if you have amdgpu/vaapi encoding on the server due to a bug which causes incorrect frame stuffing well above the set bandwidth

Use this with Tailscale VPN and you're golden.

ZeroTier worked pretty well for me

A couple I’m aware of are Parsec and Moonlight. Parsec is a bit more polished and user friendly I think, but Moonlight is open source.

Parsec also doesn’t support hosting on Linux, so moonlight is really the only option you need that
