Looking for an in home streqming 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?

moonlight/sunlight is an open source option on github. i use it all the time. works pretty well. lets you remote control your pc from a different room with a different computer. i use it to cast my main PC through an old lenovo so i can play games on the projector in our room. or watch our own downloaded collection of movies and shows and stuff.

i have zero complaints.
