Streaming games using Sunshine (the gamestream implementation) now works a lot better on nVidia/wayland (github.com)

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've gone crazy several times trying to get this to work on my Arch + AMD rig. I wish it was easier.

Sunshine should be seamless?

IDK, I can't thank them enough for what they have done already. I'm just wishing it would be easier so it would be come more widely adopted.

I mean:

Why doesn't every open source game launcher include it?
Why distros don't adopt this 1st class remote desktop tech?
Why most users don't know it even exists?
Why hasn't AMD baked it in their Windows drivers?
Why hasn't it been included along the MESA drivers?
