Used to do this. I had issues with either the audio or the video feed randomly dying, though, so I ended up finding a way to make HDMI+USB work when I moved.
More reliable, but now that I’m starting to think about reorganizing my office, copper will no longer do for 4K120 as that’ll go over the 5-meter limit. And an optical high bandwidth HDMI+USB setup isn’t cheap.
I love Moonlight. I just switched over to Linux and haven’t gotten my Moonlight host set up yet. But it’s on my to-do list. What do you use to stream it? I’m rocking a Powkiddy RGB30. The square screen squishes stuff a little, but it’s pretty cool to play Astroneer on something so tiny.
Oh, interesting. I was not familiar with Bazzite. I have a tiny Dell Optiplex hooked up to my living room TV, I was going to put Linux on there soon anyways. I wonder if that would be a good candidate for Bazzite.
I’m literally using Bazzite right now as a daily driver on my laptop, and it’s amazing. It is more gaming-oriented though, so I don’t know if there’s a better distro if you’re using it for just TV
Or Sunshine/Moonlight if you wanna keep the PC in a different room.

Upsides and downsides…
You could go with displayPort which doesn’t seem to have that 5m recommendation
Sadly TVs with DisplayPort support are very rare, and mine is not one of them.

I stream to either my Bazzite HTPC or my Steam Deck.

Either Bazzite or ChimeraOS work well for HTPC setups.
