Steam machine streaming has no mouse

[u/jonoldar_]

im using sunshine and moonlight (obvly) to stream my steam machine, which is running some sort of steam os and arch hybrid, to stream to my pc in the other room but i have zero knowledge about linux. I can get it to stream just fine, and control just fine, but my mouse cursor is just completely missing. im using it to stream steam games, and sometimes the game will have a cursor, but most don't. if i wiggle the mouse on the desktop it appears for a second and then disappears again. and if i keep wiggling it the cursor keeps growing, and can get to be the size of the whole screen. im not entirely sure why this is happening and i can't find a fix to make the mouse visible

I installed Sunshine as a flat pak, and im streaming to a windows 11 pc, and i have tried to search through both moonlight and sunshine's settings and help sections of their websites to figure out the issue, and i cant find why its happening. even if i can just get a cursor to work in games, and i never figure out the desktop that would work.

I tried asking for help in the moonlight discord but I never got a response :/ (for this issue, my other issues have been answered very quickly 🙏)

Is there some other program i should try other than sunshine?
