[SOLVED] Looking for an in home streaming solution (programming.dev)

Hey all, I've got an under powered laptop that I would like to stream Steam games to from my main PC (main PC has an AMD 9070XT, laptop has something like an Nvidia 1660). What I need to do is still be able to use my main PC while streaming to the laptop at the same time.

I've looked at solutions like moonlight, and I don't recall it worked very well or didnt support having a virtual display. I don't know that this is possible on Linux, but seems to be pretty easy to do on Windows.

What are my options here? Is it even viable to have a fully usable desktop while also utilising the GPU to stream games elsewhere?

Edit: ended up using Wolf and seemed to work perfectly. Certainly good enough to do what I set out to achieve, thanks for the recommendation.

Maybe if your cpu has graphics, you could run a VM and pass your dGPU to it and streams from inside the VM.

Otherwise I think the inputs will fight each other, even with virtual displays (one person using the pc and the other gaming via stream)

Good point, so that would have to be done through a VM or that Wolf app
