Sunshine when paired up with Moonlight offers a great way to stream games from your PC to pretty much any other system, and the latest release v0.23.1 should work better on Linux now.
This is an alternative to the now defunct NVIDIA Gamestream, and you can use it as an alternative to things like Steam Link / Remote Play. The idea is that you set up Sunshine on your gaming PC, then use Moonlight to get the stream on your other devices. So you can play whatever you want across your many systems like Steam Deck, mobile and so on.

I must give it a try.
I wanted to try streaming from my Linux desktop to the Steam Deck, but unfortunately streaming games via Steam does not work for me.
Maybe this will work.
I'll have to give Sunshine a proper look one day.
