Does Steam Link Anywhere work with the Linux client or only Android and Steam Link hardware?

Can you use it to stream Windows games to a Linux box over the Internet?

Quoting: Xaero_VincentEAC-enabled multiplayer games may bring up the resurgence of GPU passthrough tech for Linux users until Wine & Proton have solid support for EAC. It's still a thing for the less purist Linux gamers open to using a Windows VM and a passed AMD or Nvidia GPU + Looking Glass.

I've personally had success running EAC-enabled games with the easy-to-use Intel GVT passthrough tech:

How did you exactly do that? I tried to run a Win8.1 Pro with GPU Passthrough - but didn't work.
Do I need a second GPU for that, or can I just give the GPU to the VM?

Would be nice for my son - he wants to play Fortnite, but doesnt run on Ubuntu...

GVT-g is shared GPU passthrough, meaning only 1 GPU but it's only the Intel graphics that is supported. But recent Intel graphics is good enough for Fortnite.

What is the specs of the machine?

Quoting: ShmerlI'd recommend just ditching such games. Don't feed MS even by running Windows in VMs.

True. Only idle curiosity to try the most hyped about battle royale games get me to do so but I don't typically continue playing them for long. Running Windows in a VM on a Linux host isn't such a problem for me because I'm not a "purist" and unfortunately have to work with Windows systems everyday at work, so I really cannot become one. Besides, Windows 10 is free to download and install; Microsoft lets you use it indefinitely in an inactivated state and software like 'O&O ShutUp10' will help disable a good chunk of the telemetry spyware.

Like I said, Steam In-Home Streaming or Moonlight streaming are good options too, if you have access to another Windows computer on a home network and don't want to taint your main system with a dual-boot or virtual machine.

Another option of course is In-Home Streaming. I've noticed good results using a crossover Ethernet connection directly between two computers. Just have to fiddle with Steam so it connects via the crossover connection rather than the router network.

Yep the games distribution marketplace is a crowded one now and with so much competition it's a race to the bottom as far as profits go.

Awesome. I'm back to using Lutris for Wine + DXVK until Proton updates to 4.x. Hopefully it comes soon.

If GVT-g is supported with their consumer discrete cards like their iGPUs now, then I'll definitely consider one in my next build.

Anyone know a solution or workaround for the flickering issues when using the Epic Games Launcher on Linux in Wine?

Sucks to have to download 11GB worth of a game just to get the EAC files to use with a game you want to play. Anyplace to just download the Paladin's EAC alone?
