Steam Remote Play sadly breaks down if anything involving Admin comes up. Task manager, admin prompt, etc.

Sunshine / moonlight can work but you need to run them as admin.

Sunshine / moonshine also have problems with the full DualSense features, you need to be wired, have VirtualHere set up, and even then it might not all work with all clients.

So yes both can work, but both have downsides that can be alleviated with an HDMI cable.

DualSense just got wireless rumble support Linux. I think that was the last missing feature!

Audio jack support has been in since 6.18 last November. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Sony-DualSense-Audio-Handling

Come to the penguin side: we have the best drivers.

Dualsense's main advantage is the built in trackpad and gyroscope but if you want to play wirelessly you are probably better off switching to the Steam Controller at this point which also has a trackpad and gyroscope. Or if using Windows standard Xbox controller if you don't need a trackpad or gyroscope, as Xbox controllers have first class support.
Not really looking to spend another $150 while losing a headphone jack, adaptive triggers, and microphone tho.

My point is, streaming introduces compromises, while I chose PC gaming to avoid a lot of compromises.

If you particularly want a steam controller go for it, but otherwise that sounds worse and more expensive than the long cable option.
I just disable UAC. Yada yada bad practice yeah I know. I'm sick of constant slight annoyance due to hypothetical threat. If I get pwned I get pwned; hasn't happened yet lol
that you know of
”If a tree falls in a forest”, U=U, etc. This is just FUD otherwise.
