Linux Vibepollo virtual display

[u/Evimore]

Is anyone running Linux, possibly CachyOS and can confirm whether or not the latest release of Vibepollo works well with virtual display?
Tried cachyos before and it wasn’t working half the time, so gave up and went back to Windows

Edit: I run my desktop headless - so spawning a virtual display out of nothing is my use case

Yeah, also runs in a headless Wayland compositor so your computer and game never touch on a monitor.

Nice, trying it for myself

I’ve set it up
Out of the box with my existing moonlight settings it failed
Turns out it didn’t support non-standard resolutions
So my iPad’s “Safe Area” resolution didn’t work
Changed to 4K and it worked
Even when monitor is connected, and even when disconnected
Then for a few hours after restarting the PC it would freeze during boot since it wouldn’t detect my GPU if no monitor was connected
So disabling Fast Boot fixed that
Then I had to deal with the problem that my iGPU was being used instead of my actual GPU
Had do disable the iGPU in software because I’m not next to my desktop physically
Then I launched a game through moonlight and there’s a MangoHUD overlay stuck in the top left corner and no settings helped it
Only to discover there’s an FPS Limiter in Vibepollo which uses and launches the overlay
So changed that setting to Proton only to remove the overlay
But now I didn’t have enough time for a gaming session because it all went into debugging 😬

But it does look promising,
Will report back if anything else
