I think in the context of the post, you’re missing everything else that’s not remote file sharing

There’s actually some issues with games that make the Mouse Cursor stick to the center and turn the camera with movement (like most FPS do) which also happened on Windows to me, the Mouse has like x10 the sensitivity and is hardly controllable, other games that don’t do that (like point and click games where the Cursor is free) don’t present this issue

Besides that, I have played mostly keyboard centric games, a fighting-game style MMO that I have engaged in both PvE and PvP Gameplay and besides the bullshit moments in PvP where the Wi-fi turned on me, I really can’t complain of performance, haven’t played Souls games OR games using a joystick controller, it’s probably something that needs testing

If you mean the compression that waypipe offers with -c, I used for the longest time “-c none” thinking it would free my CPU of all overhead possible, that’s probably the right play on a local network environment but I have since some time ago rid of that to see and I again don’t notice a difference, so if you plan to go out and connect back through a private LAN like Tailscale you may want to keep it on the default compression algorithm

Right, so as I mentioned in the post, hardware accelerated encoding for waypipe greatly increases performance and that’s the one thing I can tell you makes the night and day of this setup

In my experience, my two devices are low-end on my local network, one of them 10 years old (The Local PC) on Ethernet and the other (The “Remote” PC) is in 5G Wi-fi, audio is 1:1 I can barely tell if there’s delay, except when it stutters due to the Wi-fi being wi-fi, for video it’s clearly compressed with h264 so colors are a bit off but otherwise it doesn’t struggle either, latency and responsiveness feel right, like I mentioned in the post WINE Games is my use case for this, and playing Games has a high bar for that, maybe at some point my processor gets jacked to 100% due to the games and it struggles but it has never crashed, and it recovers once intensity tones down

Compared to other systems, I have only used Xrdp and Microsoft’s RDP on Windows; and I don’t feel any different besides the lack of additional features like drag and drop between devices that aren’t a dealbreaker for me

The title kinda reads like a question, so you’re not wrong thinking I’m doing so, however that’s more oriented for like search engines to pick up this post, as often users would type straight up looking for help on something, that’s the idea of that, but in the first paragraph I explain that this is not a question post
