I sometimes use a steamdeck out and about but most of the time I use it at home streaming my desktop using sunshine/moonlight. I don’t notice the lag, just enjoy the high quality visuals and extended battery. You can even use wake on lan to wake up your PC from moonlight on the steam deck.

Man, moonlight/sunshine was a gamechanger for my PC, I can play on my TV then on my phone then on my desktop, it's awesome!

Is this better than steams built in streaming system?

Honest question, never used anything else

[–] bigustorm@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Actually I don't own a Deck, though if it's similar to Steam Link on PC I'd say moonlight let's me tweak a little bit more stuff like bandwidth and allows for up to 120fps on all my client devices.

The setup process for moonlight/sunshine is pretty easy so I'd say give it a shot.

Thanks. I'll look into it, I've got plans to repurpose an old wiiu into a deck-like couch gaming machine.

Right now my wife is using the Deck pretty heavily, so I'm using steam to stream a game to my old Chromebook, it's working pretty well actually 🤷‍♂️

Hey just wanted to update you, I ended up modding my WiiU, works great!
