How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I've used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results.

Apple TV and Xbox Series X, terrible with massive lag.

Android with Nvidia shield pro or Chromecast with Google TV, not bad but not amazing,

MacOS client on MacBook pro and Google pixel 6 pro over wifi 6, perfect feels like it's on the same machine.

Before I go through all the effort of setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience on the quality of the stream

What's moonlight? (Genuinely curious, always looking for new tools).

Thanks!

https://moonlight-stream.org/

Just to add some details to that link, it's a network streaming app that lets you remote into another machine and depending on your network configuration it's often fast and responsive enough to play games (I played through Celeste which is a very twitchy precision platformer with no issues). It's also just cool streaming something like Cyberpunk on ultra settings to your phone. There are moonlight clients for nearly any device.

To host moonlight you used to be able to just do it natively through Nvidia gamestream but they turned that feature off. You can use Sunshine now to host https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine
