    Have you looked into streaming from a desktop? I’m using sunshine/moonlight to stream my video editor from gaming PC to Thinkpad and it works really well! The quality and responsiveness is really good these days to the point where it’s hard to even tell it’s a stream.

      This is the way

      You get all the power of a PC. There’s literally no better way to work on the go, and you can buy the cheapest little laptop known to man.

        The functionally, not the product, yes. Sunshine and moonlight is a more performant alternative to native remote desktop (rdp).

          Yes I meant functionally ie I meant remote desktop generically rather than RDP. Can I think of sunshine & moonlight as just another alternative to VNC (except better performer?).

            I would say so, yes.

            (I’m not the original commented, but I do use them too.)

            They came to be after Nvidia published their gaming streaming as an open source alternative. Nvidia dropped their product. Sunshine and moonlight still actively develop.

            Personally, I use them to stream my desktop to TV, for desktop, watching stuff, and sometimes gaming.

              Thanks to both of you. Never heard of it before. Might come in handy when I make music. Have a fanless (ie silent) laptop under which I place picnic ice bricks. Controlling my desktop (sunshine) with the laptop (moonlight) might be better.

                Infinitely better, as long as your network and encoding are set up properly. At the very least, you won’t need the ice bricks.

      I’ve used them quite a lot to stream games from a PC to a Steam Deck and a Nvidia Shield and agreed that the 2 projects are fantastic.
