    You used to not need Moonlight or something like that with linux. We just ssh XForward the application to the client. (well technically they server, but that gets confusing).

      You still can, as far as I know! It's just that I don't think X would have the throughput for games. I recently learned about that functionality in a Cathode Ray Dude video, where he shows how it even got ported to Windows 3.11!

        And technically you can still do that, but it's super laggy. Playing a game through X11 forwarding would be horrendous
