Literally the only thing keeping me from switching:
Act as a host in Parsec. If hosting ever becomes available for the Linux release, I'll switch.
Did you try Sunshine and Moonlight? A little rough around the edges but the most reliable solution that I ever used. Also has the lowest latency out of the ones I tested.

I switched to moonlight, because it works better for my use case. But parsec worked better on a bad connection for me. Also parsec is owned by unity.
Hi to run into this problem. I have a Mac mini that I use as a bridge from my home network to my work laptop. Now, most workloads requiring horsepower, I will run in the cloud, but there are some workloads that I want to run locally. I can parsec into the Mac, but I canβt parsec into the Linux server I have. The state of media on Linux is not great, and there are understandable reasons as to why.
I use it to host a weekly remote movie night for some friends and I and it's basically the perfect piece of drop-in software for that purpose.
It's simple enough that non-technical people just need to click a button to connect and its protocol is low latency enough that we can all see and react to the same scene with no delay.
