At the time of writing Sunshine is unable to wake sleeping display<ref>https://github.com/orgs/LizardByte/discussions/439</ref> (e.g. when screen is locked), which makes impossible to connect to the main session of your host PC. Can be somehow avoided by creating a virtual display and running Sunshine through it.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Running Steam Big Picture on Wayland ===

While using Wayland on non-wlroots compositors, [https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/latest/md_docs_2getting__started.html you need to have] <code>capSysAdmin = true;</code> in Sunshine config for KMS to capture screen properly. But this parameter breaks any custom applications that should be started from your main user, not super-user. To avoid such issues, you need to prepend all needed commands with <code>sudo -u <username></code> <ref>https://discourse.nixos.org/t/give-user-cap-sys-admin-p-capabillity/62611/3?u=dmchmk</ref>:
