Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
Sunshine/Moonlight are FOSS, highly performant RDP software that is well supported on Linux as well as Windows and includes game controller support. They are designed for game streaming but I regularly use it as a remote desktop software for remote working.
Of course, depending on your specific situation, it might not work. It isn’t compatible with Microsoft RDP (it uses Nvidia’s game streaming protocol, with Sunshine as the host and Moonlight as the remote). Also game controller support is done by creating a generic virtual game controller on the host, so the details of what specific controller you are using are lost.
Sounds promising, thanks for the suggestion. But yeah unfortunately using Microsoft RDP is basically a hard requirement, unless I can convince someone in IT to make an exception. But if it does exactly what I need I might have a case.
