## Useful for

- Stream games from a home PC to a laptop or Steam Link via Moonlight
- Run a remote desktop session with direct mouse control and host keyboard shortcuts
- Play with up to 16 gamepads with force feedback and motion controls

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-17 (UTC), 00:23–10:51: 19117 → 19120 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +9 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 50% of the previous week and a half.

## Star trust

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
