Streaming games using Sunshine (the gamestream implementation) now works a lot better on nVidia/wayland (github.com)

Yes, yes, I know, buy AMD, but I already have nVvdia to use CUDA, but this new patch on the nightly branch (on arch, you can use sunshine-git but with my patch here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sunshine-git) finally makes it so that I don't have to "dual boot" into X11 to get game streaming at full performance.

Prior to this, wayland-based streamers had to make a round-trip through CPU ram, and now it stays within GPU ram and thus we can stream 4k on nvidia/Wayland!

Having to install the software is kinda the lowest common denominator in desktop computing, I think bundling it with things would be silly

Edit: you mentioned you used arch. Sunshine is a mainline arch package, so you just install it and then start the systemd service. Can’t imagine it being much easier than that

I did just that. Doesn't work. IDK why.
