Is there a big advantage to using Moonlight/Sunshine vs the built-in Steam remote play feature? I regularly stream from my desktop to my Steam Deck without too many issues, although sometimes I get weird minor problems (e.g. Banishers Ghosts of New Eden will be noticeably darker, Elden Ring will get random "flashes" where the screen kind of blinks for a split second from time to time). These issues are hardly a big deal for me, so I'm more curious than seeking a true alternative.

In my experiences, Sunshine/Moonlight are a little bit more performant. But what's nicer about them is they are far more configurable, at the disadvantage of being less ready to go out of the box.

Edit: By this I mean you can do things like run bat/bash scripts on connect as well as disconnect. You can also launch straight into games themselves rather than need to connect to big picture mode first.

My experience the input delay is much much better with moonlight than steam streaming. On a local network. But my reference point is sharing the desktop, so the mouse lag is really noticable.

Moonlight is also capable of 4k streaming
