Hello, I’m not a total Linux noob, but I’m not sure what my plan is for windows 10s shutter, and I’m not going to 11. I have a PC exclusively for games with an nvidia gpu.
My dream setup works something like a headless gaming pc: I keep my tower on my desk with some monitors and mkb, then run Ethernet all over, and I can stream the tower to: my deck, my phone, a steam link, thin client etc. Then I could get a steam link for my driving sim and send it over there, maybe add in a flight sim later with another steam link. Is this possible?
Hurdles:
- can I still run halo/microsoft games easily? Rocket league? I don’t want to reconfigure every game after every patch.
- What distro would be best?
- Can it switch to the right resolution for what I’m streaming to? I have 16:9, 21:9, steam deck and my phone to contend with. When I tried moonlight it always swapped to the plugged in monitor resolution instead.
- Can it output 4K120hz over the Ethernet?
- Good option for steam link devices?
- Can I stream outside the home with Tailscale
Could converting to windows 10 iot not keep your current configuration intact and allow you to continue receiving windows updates?
I had thought that only extended it out to 2028, but 2032 is a bit further away. I still need to switch eventually, I may as well start. Would using windows make it any easier to set up the headless part though?
