I‘m pretty excited, ngl! I‘ve recently finished my daily driver and put ubuntu 23.04 on it. 3060ti (don’t buy nvidia! Just dont) and an i9, 32gigs of ram. Streaming on an apple tv with a ds4 controller.
All settings maxed with raytracing ultra (did hitch a bit like 30-40 min into the game, either bigger rooms or heat buildup, gotta check that) turned off raytracing, everything was fine again.
The game is so cinematic and 3rd person lends itself to controllers imo.
But I wanted to share this because it blew my mind how far linux gaming has come. You don’t need a game console. You can just run it on your tv over fkin lan. Crazy!
PC (HDMI & USB) -> transmitter -> Ethernet -> receiver -> TV (HDMI & USB)
I use the receiver’s USB connections for connecting controllers and wireless mouse & keyboard. I don’t notice any latency whatsoever.
This is the particular one I got:
Basicolor HDMI KVM USB Extender 4K@60Hz KVM Extender Over Cat5e/Cat6 Up to 60m (196Ft), 4 Ports USB,Lossless or Zero Latency, Plug&Play(Point to Point KVM Extender) https://a.co/d/8Ki2lzw
Thats very cool! Thank you for elaborating! :) Would this also work with remote accessing the pc over the web? Then maybe not 4k but I could imagine opening my vpn when away from home and accessing my pc.
Sounds awesome! How exactly does this kvm thing work? I‘m using standard steam->steamlink app connnection but also big picture mode.

For gaming like that (remote over the network), I’d recommend sunshine and moonlight. They work great if your network can handle the upload
Thanks for letting me know. Might check it out.
No, this only really serves one purpose which is utilizing your TV or other distant monitor as another screen for your laptop or desktop.
The Ethernet wire does not connect to the rest of your network. It only goes from the transmitter to the receiver.
What you’re describing is possible however, via some self-hosted services on a server for instance.
Ok! Thanks for clarifying! :)
