> And then there's this, Moonshine, in a way doing what Apollo brings to the table but for Linux servers.

What was the motivation? Games on Whales seems to work perfectly in my experience.

Games on Whales runs containers, it doesn’t stream your desktop or your steam installation for example. So use case is for those that use the PC directly but also want it available via moonlight without a display connected.

I've used Moonlight but didn't like having to unlock my Linux home PC to play. If I want to play remotely using my (idle) PC, what's a better solution? Games on Whales (which I'd never heard of before now, and I'm not sure if it works on Linux), or Moonshine?

I have server running in basement all the time. I start Games on Whales over ssh and then launch Moonlight on macOS client. You can do it completely remotely. Only pre-condition is that computer must be turned on. I tried Sunshine as well but it was too much pain and not so effortless.

Nice, thanks! You can't do that with Moonlight in Linux, I always needed to log in to my session first in person.
