Steam Link or Moonlight? (lemmy.world)

I’ve recently noticed Steam Link seems to provide an actual better gaming connection now than using moonlight. The connection seems much more stable, and has a far lower latency. I personally have a very good home network so I should be comparing them both in good working order.

Is this something anyone else has noticed? Has this been a thing for a while?

My only issue with Steam Link is that it won’t stream my non-steam games on Linux because it can’t render the Steam overlay. Moonlight allows me to stream any game but I’m not able to use Steam Input since it makes the game think that I have an xbox 360 controller.

Steam Link has been around much longer and if you trust Valve to keep their software up to date chances are it’ll work at parity or better than Moonlight.

Steam Link is not around much longer, I can't find the exact release date of Gamestream, so I don't know which is older, but even if Steam Link is, it's gonna be months rather than years.

steam link if I remember correctly came out over a year before game stream did I may be mistaken though
