From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have been flopping back and forth between arch and windows the last few years depending on the weather as I like to game in the garage when it's really nice out. I have been using an app called Apollo. Which is a fork of Sunshine with SudoVDA implemented. SudoVDA is perfect for my use cases. It allows you to spin up a virtual screen of whatever hz/size you'd prefer even HDR. This allows me to remotely game while leaving my gaming PC effectively running "headless" until the virtual screen is closed(you close the connection) I haven't found a way to implement a similar thing on Linux. The main sticking point being the headless application of it. I had a solution at one point that "worked" but only for 1440p 120hz and I'd have had to download or create some monitor profile file thing to change it and it was over my head and did not work well for my usecase as I also like to remote into my PC while working to game on breaks or lulls in tickets which is 1920x60 so then I had to spin up another virtual screen and things got broke and I gave up and eent back to using Apollo on windows as it's just so damn easy to use lol. I'm not dedicated to using sunshine/moonlight as my connection software id just like to find something as seemless as Apollo/moonlight or Apollo/Artemis(Android) is. Anyone know of any solutions? I'm fine with distro swapping. I've used arch based, fedora based, and Debian based distros in the past.

Edit: this will all be local connection. Nothing on the actually internet.
