Vibeshine 1.19.0-beta.5

Vibeshine 1.19.0-beta.5 is now available for both Windows and Linux.

This release introduces the first public Linux release, while continuing to support Windows as before.

Warning

AMD GPU support

NVIDIA: Linux support is currently considered beta.

AMD: Linux support should currently be considered alpha and may be partially or completely non-functional. AMD support is still under active development and should not be expected to work reliably until further notice. It is not recommended to try to install unless you are technical.

Notice: Vibeshine may trigger false-positive antivirus alerts. Details and workarounds are documented here: #59

What's new

  • Added the first public Linux release for Arch Linux and CachyOS.
  • Added KDE Plasma 6 Wayland streaming on Linux.
  • Added managed Linux virtual displays.
  • Added Linux hardware encoding with H.264, HEVC, and AV1 where supported.
  • Added PipeWire audio capture on Linux.
  • Added keyboard, mouse, and gamepad input support on Linux.
  • Added support for pairing and streaming from the Linux login screen on NVIDIA GPUs.
  • Added an Arch/CachyOS installer that handles dependencies, kernel headers, Vibeshine installation, firewall configuration, and virtual-display setup.
  • Added direct Steam game launching on Linux.
  • Added Resume beside running games in the remote library.

Linux requirements

  • KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland, started through Plasma Login Manager or SDDM.
  • Linux 6.16 or newer.
  • Kernel headers for the running kernel.
  • A GPU with hardware H.264 encoding support.
  • Arch Linux or CachyOS. CachyOS is currently the primary tested distribution.
  • NVIDIA is currently the recommended and primary supported GPU vendor for the Linux beta.
  • Pre-login streaming currently requires an NVIDIA GPU.
  • AMD support is currently alpha and may be non-functional on some systems.
  • Intel GPUs can currently stream only after login and should be considered experimental.

Moonlight can be paired from either the login screen or a logged-in desktop. Pairing from the login screen requires opening Vibeshine's Web UI from another device to enter the PIN.

Other Arch-based distributions may work, but are currently supported on a best-effort basis.

Linux installation

The recommended installation method for Arch Linux and CachyOS is:

curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nonary/vibeshine/1.19.0-beta.5/scripts/linux_install.sh
sudo bash linux_install.sh --version 1.19.0-beta.5

The installer handles kernel headers, Vibeshine installation, firewall configuration, and managed virtual-display setup.

You can also install the package manually:

sudo pacman -U ./vibeshine-1.19.0beta.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
