  • STEP BY STEP SOLUTION

    Using my ArchLinux as a Sunshine server, and Ubuntu as a Moonlight client:

    1. Sunshine devs advise using your Distros package manager ("apt" if on Ubuntu/Debian. AURs "yay" or "paru" if on ArchLinux, or "dns" if on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL), instead of using your Distros AppStore, or either AppImage or Flatpak -- although they may still work.
    2. Run the following on the terminal command line of your Sunshine server:

    sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+p $(readlink -f $(which sunshine))

    1. Restart Sunshine server.

    Then either restart Sunshine by opening on your browser https://localhost:47990/troubleshooting or reboot the whole machine if that doesn't work.

    1. Set username and password for Sunshine here if prompted: https://localhost:47990/
    2. In Moonlight client, click the gear on the top right (settings), then Enable Capture system keyboard shortcuts
    3. Connect to Sunshine using Moonlight client using the 192.168.xxx.xxx IP of your Sunshine server. Running the following on the terminal of your Sunshine server should show your IP: ip addr
    4. Input pin shown from Moonlight into https://localhost:47990/pin webpage of the Sunshine server.
    5. Use CTL + Shift + Alt + Q to escape.

    Extra info / rant, may not be useful

    Again, step 5 is what allows special keys to be ran on the remote host and not the local.

    I just tried Sunshine (remote host) and Moonlight (client). There was a bit more setting up. They mention on their docs somewhere to use your distro's package manager instead of app stores if you can.

    On ArchLinux, I needed to run this in the command line first, and then restart. sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+p $(readlink -f $(which sunshine))

    And then after running Sunshine, and accessing its web console https://localhost:47990/, setting a username and password, to access it via Moonshine on my client by putting my 192.168.xxx.xxx IP, then placing the pin on the Sunshine remote host at https://localhost:47990/pin. And then had 2 "Desktop" icons, 1 to connect with high res and another low res; and then a third icon to connect to "Steam" for Steam Big Picture mode connection.

    Also Moonlight and Sunshine starts with very low brightness. I've fixed this before, by going into the Moonlight or Sunshine settings -- I don't remember which one.

    Although Moonlight and Sunshine does not ask for connection verification after I've connected once. Rustdesk would ask me everytime, and I did not figure out how to remove Rustdesk prompting the remote host to ask the connection.

    And both Moonlight and Rustdesk run the super key on the client host.###

  • You guys are weird.

  • Let me know how it goes. I don't gave much experience with them. But if they're made well for gaming, should for good for a full experience.

  • I would be very confused if someone said the word to me in-person, even after seeing it on Lemmy or Reddit.

    Its like the first time I heard the word woke. What the hell are these people on or talking about?

  • I agree, GIMPs UI is pretty nasty. Same as LibreOffice Writer, but I still use them.

  • Tankies imo is such a creepy new word that came out of nowhere. Do real people actually use this word?

  • I have the sane problem with the Super (Windows) and alt button running locally instead of just the remote machine.

    You might find better success with Moonshine & Sunshine together. It works with Android as well. And provides 4K HD streaming which is great for gaming.

  • On topic for QEMU/KVM, easier to use interfaces would be helpful. Not saying other VM software are any easier, but they have so many settings baked in, and I only get them running maybe after the 50th trial and error setting changed.

  • There are edge cases like these where I would consider paying for software to fix my system. Problem is, I wouldn't know where to look and who to trust.

    Its also just for personal use, so if it were expensive then I would just reformat for free.

  • Its so easy nowadays on Steam, and other clients like Lutris for GoG and Heroic for Epic Games. They care care of all the extra software to install to run Windows games.

    You simply install the client, run the game. As simple as Windows. Plus the epic power of Linux. Its the best for new and older hardware.

  • Oh, I don't think I've witnessed one here.

  • What's a tankie and what makes them close to Nazis?

  • I disagree. If Lemmy was plagued with Nazis, it would down the shitter pretty fast.

  • ArchLinux has been very stable for me, as long as I did not choose BTRFS as my filesystem during the install process.

    I did have a few problems with the major overhaul of KDE, but I super enjoy the new look and feel. I'm not sure if Arch being a rolling release allowed me to have the latest KDE faster, but I'm glad I have it.

  • Never connect your TV to your wireless and wired internet, even on initial purchase. Use a USB when updating your TV.

  • I use Cockpit which comes with many other awesome features too.

  • Using Matrix with Element instead?

  • This comment means they're facist to you? 😂
