Title: Using an Ouya as a Steam stream-box?

Over my birthday I picked up a couple new toys; one of which was an [Ouya](https://www.ouya.tv/). I mainly got it to play on emulators and to play Towerfall in the living room, but then I wondered if I could use my Ouya as a steam box like the upcoming Steam Link: a box entirely for streaming. It turns out that it's already [a thing](https://www.ouya.tv/game/Limelight-Game-Streaming/), buuuuut it requires the nVidia Experience program, which is not on Linux. So if anyone knows/has ideas for an alternate method I'd appreciate it :)

tl;dr Anyone know how to stream Steam games to an Ouya on Linux?

Since Steam won't work on ARM you'd have to look at alternate server and client solutions. A quick google search came up with http://gaminganywhere.org/. I have no idea how well that will work (especially on Ouya) so that too could be a dead end. But that's the best I can think of for now.

Edit: *hust* I hate when people hide important links in more or less unrelated text :( I don't think there is a way to do it on an ARM device and from Linux right now.

Old text:
Works only with nvidia and I think Windows in the PC to stream from.

If valve would open up their protocol (or someone makes further progress reverse engineering it), limelight could probably be adapted to work with it too.
