We were gonna try the "Goat Simulator" on steam and wanted to sit in the sofa while playing.
We ran the simulator on a Windows partition on my gaming system, and then ran steam on both the Windows machine and my Linux laptop that was connected to the TV via HDMI.
The game was then streamed from the gaming machine to the laptop, and I have to say that I am very impressed by it.
It felt as if we were sitting at the gaming machine just like always, no lagg or other issues.
The games could be managed from the laptop so we didn't really notice that we were using them from the other machine.
Here's the Steam page about it.
Code: Select all

One game where we only got sound and the mouse pointer was "ArcheAge", but I expect that to be solvable somehow.
My current plan now is to buy an "Intel Nuc" computer at some point, and use that as my main Linux system.
Then I'll have only Windows on the gaming machine, and use it as a headless gaming server.
Big step for Linux gaming imho.
