(I’m not the original commented, but I do use them too.)
They came to be after Nvidia published their gaming streaming as an open source alternative. Nvidia dropped their product. Sunshine and moonlight still actively develop.
Personally, I use them to stream my desktop to TV, for desktop, watching stuff, and sometimes gaming.
Thanks. Never heard of it before. Might come in handy when I make music. Have a fanless (ie silent) laptop under which I place picnic ice bricks. Controlling my desktop (sunshine) with the laptop (moonlight) would be better.

The functionally, not the tech, yes. Sunshine and moonlight is a more performant alternative to native remote desktop (rdp).

I meant remote desktop generically rather than RDP. Is sunshine & moonlight just another alternative to VNC (except better performer?).

I would say so, yes.
