I just stumbled this fork that seems focused on giving Linux hosts a good boost. It promises no-headache Virtual Display support out of the box, and Bazzite seems like the primary target.

Just checked out the website and this looks really cool.

What games or types of games do you typically use it for?

I use it, so that my roommate can play Elden Ring on TV, while I do work on my PC

Very cool, hopefully will iron out some of the issues I’ve been having with sunshine.

FWIW, I found dumping my screens EDID firmware and adding it to boot args + assigning to GPU port worked best for headless display set up
