Comment on Looking for suggestions for game streaming server

My box sits in my closet, so can’t really help much with docker or vm. But I use sunshine server with moonlight client. Keep in mind you can’t fight latency that comes from distance between server and client. I can use 4/5G for turn based or active pause games but wouldn’t try anything real time. On cable my ping is under ms, enough to play shooters as badly as I do these days.
I use AMD for CPU and GPU, and wouldn’t try nvidia if using Linux as sever.
I did use to run a VM in xenserver/xcp-ng and passthrough gpu with a mock hdmi screen plug. A windows 10 vm, ran very well bar pretty crap CPU but I did get around 30fps in 1080p tarkov, sometimes more with amd upscalling. Back then I was using parsec, but found sunshine and moonlight works better for me.

What kind of machine do you use as a client? And how does performance compare to playing on the server directly?

I use a 2016 Asus Zenbook with integrated intel gpu.
The performance is comparable. The only thing that’s different is latency, obviously, although it’s fairly negligible on LAN, and encoding/decoding sometimes createa artifacts and smudges, but it’s better at higher bandwidth.
