> Moonshine runs each streaming session in its own isolated environment, separate from your desktop. This means your host PC stays usable while you stream, and it works without an active desktop session.

So does this create like a virtual desktop? How does that work? Is this just a separate "screen" or is this more like an entirely separate compositor instance (if thats the right term here)?

From the features section:

So yes, a compositor per session. I love the idea of a gaming box that can host multiple instances; that would be very very good.

Thank you I can see why it only works on linux. I can see this being successful with the SteamOS variants. Would this be a simpler way to share a gaming box across two different clients simultaneously? Like if my kids only played lightweight titles.
