Howdy,

I've been trying to get sunshine setup on my arch (btw) install and things aren't going the smoothest. My PC has a 4080 and is hardwired to my wifi 7 router and the device I'm streaming to is an AYN Thor. All of those should be relatively beefy devices so there shouldn't be any bottlenecks there. When I begin streaming a game however, my Thor displays my incoming framerate from the network as, at most, ~30ish FPS. This is despite the fact I can see the game running on my PC at 120+ FPS. Doing some googling it looks like the most likely culprit is just Wayland's compositor, I guess? It was suggested to try in x11, but Jesus I would hate having to log out of my Wayland instance and into x11 just to stream games.

Anyone stream games on their Linux install? Can anyone think of anything else I can try to increase the framerate? Would really like for this just to work and not need to have a whole process to stream something basic like Xcom or something. Thanks for your guys' insight!

EDIT: Following in this guy's footsteps, uninstalling the AUR's sunshine and instead using the latest build from GitHub seems to have fixed the issue.
