Have you tried Moonlight? It's an open source streaming alternative software that you can install on Steam Links, streams using Nvidia's GeForce Experience as the broadcasting part and Moonlight receives it.

Unfortunately the NVIDIA part isn't open-source. With that said, for what they are, products like Moonlight and Parsec actually are really good.

Agreed. I prefer Parsec where available but Moonlight gets better performance on my Android TV box.

Moonlight was a better alternative a few years ago when I tried it but I just built more computers. I've got three towers in the same room at this point, not to mention the Switch and Steam Deck. If I'm ever far enough away from video games to make me consider streaming them, I'm usually too lazy to bother.
