Streaming games using Sunshine (the gamestream implementation) now works a lot better on nVidia/wayland - eviltoast
Is NvFBC for X11-only? · LizardByte/Sunshine · Discussion #2060

When I try to use NvFBC inside hyprland (a wlroots-based wayland compositor), it seems like it looks for an X server: [2024:01:24:13:59:45]: Error: Failed to create session: Version mismatch betwee...

Yes, yes, I know, buy AMD, but I already have nVvdia to use CUDA, but this new patch on the nightly branch (on arch, you can use sunshine-git but with my patch here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sunshine-git) finally makes it so that I don’t have to “dual boot” into X11 to get game streaming at full performance.

Prior to this, wayland-based streamers had to make a round-trip through CPU ram, and now it stays within GPU ram and thus we can stream 4k on nvidia/Wayland!

    I use yay so I just go to ~/.cache/yay/sunshine-git after the failed build and change the PKGBUILD, then use makepkg -si to build and install it.

    You can use the patch command to apply the diff.
