    I actually just tried moonlight/sunshine this past week for gaming, and I was disappointed. The interface is missing critical components that Steam link has. Makes it almost useless unless you have a keyboard attached in many cases.

    But I hadn’t thought of using it for Remote Desktop into Linux. Sounds a lot better than No Machine. Thanks for the tip.

      What is missing? I have had no issues with it.

      But you can use Steamlink as a remote desktop tool too. I do it all the time with my steamdeck in desktop mode.

        The biggest issue for me was their tvOS app. If you can’t tap the screen with three fingers, you can’t bring up alternate controls when you run into a problem.

          tvOS app

          Ah, I have never messed with that. Of course Apple makes it hard, lol.

            I mean, it’s a tv app. I kinda feel like it’s on the developer of the app if their feature can’t be used without a touch interface or keyboard.
