This is terrible. We own 2 links and they are great. Stream games from our computers to our living room. My son loves it. I guess we'll need to figure out a small Linux box to duplicate this. Wonder if a RasberryPi could do it.
I really hope this has no impact on Streaming in general, it is one of Steam's best features.
- mrarjen 8y agoThey will continue to support it apparently, so no need to switch yet, unless you want to expand it beyond just Steam. But a Pi will likely not run it as well tbh, always notice some lag, where with the Steam link it's buttery smooth.
- deorder 8y agoIf they stop supporting it and you have a Nvidia GPU you can always use Moonlight: https://moonlight-stream.com/ https://moonlight-stream.com/ Moonlight can do 4k at 120fps and supports HVEC / H.265. You can run Moonlight on a RPi and achieve 1080p at 60fps and 5.1 audio without much trouble. Sadly a RPi cannot do HVEC encoding using hw.

- JackuB 8y agoTried Pi, and it can’t keep up with the video stream. You can always use an HTPC, with a GPU like GTX 1050 and use Steam’s in-home streaming. Works really well.
