But this is only for games, isn’t it?

In the Steam Link app, you have the option to select “Start Streaming” without picking a specific game. This will stream the screen as it is without binding to a specific window.

The main caveats here are as follows:

  • Requires a working pipewire & desktop portal configuration
  • Depending on desktop portal & settings, you may need to manually click through the screensharing request modal on your desktop at the start of each connection
  • The Steam client must be installed and running on your Linux machine in order to receive connections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
