## What it is
Sunshine is a self-hosted Gamestream host server for the Moonlight streaming client, implemented in C++. It captures the screen and streams games or the desktop with low latency to Moonlight clients over the network.

## Use cases
- stream pc games to another device over lan
- host a gamestream server for moonlight
- play pc games on a tv or tablet remotely
- stream my linux desktop to a laptop
- low latency remote game streaming without nvidia shield

## When to choose
- you use Moonlight clients and want a self-hosted, open-source streaming host
- you want to stream from Linux (X11, Wayland, KMS) or Windows
- you need low-latency game or desktop streaming on your local network

## When to avoid
- you want a fully managed cloud gaming service
- you need a turnkey solution without compiling or configuring udev/systemd on Linux
- you only need simple remote desktop rather than game streaming
