[Feature Request] Ubuntu 26.04 LTS support for Vibepollo Linux host (GNOME/Intel headless)

OpenMoebiusRexopened 3d ago

I'd like to run Vibepollo as a Moonlight host on an existing Ubuntu server rather than replace the OS or desktop just for game streaming.

My setup

  • Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, GNOME/Wayland
  • Intel Core i5-1135G7 with Iris Xe graphics (VA-API encoding works)
  • Headless laptop (internal display is broken)
  • Already running Plex and remote administration services
  • Intended use: launch ES-DE/RetroArch and stream retro games to Moonlight clients, ideally using a true virtual display without an HDMI dummy plug

The current Linux installation guide supports Arch/CachyOS with KDE Plasma Wayland, but not Ubuntu/Debian packaging or GNOME sessions.

Would you consider supporting:

  1. Ubuntu LTS with a native .deb package or a documented, supported installation/build path?
  2. GNOME Wayland sessions, or a supported headless session that doesn't require switching the machine to KDE?
  3. Intel GPU virtual-display streaming after login (and eventually unattended startup, if feasible)?

I realize distribution packaging, compositor integration, and Intel pre-login support are separate issues. Even just a roadmap or clarification of which parts are practical would be helpful.

I saw the older Ubuntu-based request in #196, but that was before the Linux host was released, so I'm asking specifically about expanding the existing Linux beta.

Thanks for considering it.
