I discovered Moonshine last night [0] as a result of frustration with Sunshine's many flaws on Linux, and I'm loving it so far. Thank you for your work!

What issues are you having with Sunshine? It works on Linux (Ubuntu desktop) for me out of the box

Annoyances around the general workflow (i.e. having to dedicate an entire output to it and/or preventing you from doing anything else with that output), as well as general stability/connectivity issues (i.e. not streaming one of [video|audio|input] on connection). Interacting with its UI also makes me believe that it is in dire need of some TLC.

Comparatively, Moonshine "just worked". Claude set it up, porting across relevant settings from Sunshine, I connected to it, punched the client pairing code into the server, and then I was able to play Clair Obscur on my TV without being logged into my workstation. Pretty cool!

That does sound pretty neat, thanks for sharing
