Moonlight (client) and Sunshine (host) can solve the Linux streaming, but if you want to get onto the next level and have access to everything on your home network you can setup a VPN to your home network or if you want something easier to setup and is a lot more dynamic you can use TailScale to setup a mesh VPN between all of your devices and they will be available to each other peer 2 peer as if they were on the same network. This will allow you to access your main computer over RDP (WIndows) and VNC (Linux) becomes extremely useful if you have LAN resources like a NAS or local home automation that isn't connected to the internet. This will also allow you to have local services on a home server accessible to your TailScale devices over the internet without having to allow the open internet to have access to your home server. Being able to easily self-host your own web software is a very powerful tool since it will allow you to further disconnect from big tech at the cost of some initial setup and maintenance, but also maintaining much of the convenience. Some self-hosted utilities I find useful: - NextCloud (Cloud storage and sync replacement) - Jellyfin (Media server similar to Plex or Emby) - Hoarder (A bookmark manager with locally hosted AI summaries and automatic tagging) - FreshRSS (RSS aggregator with a built in reader.) - Print server - Kimai (Project management and time tracker software) - Monica (Contact management system) - Immich (Photo app replacement with optional local AI support) - Calibre (eBook manager, works great with Kobos) - Mealie (Cookbook/meal planning app) - qBittorrent (for Linux ISOs)

Something you can look into for the remote streaming is Moonlight and Sunshine (the host software). I run it locally to stream my games on my windows PC to my main Linux machine and it's pretty stable!

Glad you're safe! I've never heard of Parsec before but it sounds super useful! I might have to try that. How'd you come across it?
