@sam if you want a more general purpose tool, I've been using moonlight and sunshine - it's an open source implementation which has been giving me much better image quality when streaming from my desktop
I've heard of moonlight, the only reason I went with Steam Link is that it was dead simple. Better image quality is definitely tempting, I'll give moonlight a try soon!
@sam it was less fiddly back when Nvidia had the game streaming server built into the Nvidia GeForce experience software - now you need to run sunshine as a server for it to work - but it's letting me playing Baldurs Gate from my bedroom on my MacBook via my much more powerful desktop. Also means you can stream GOG games and the like.
