Hello I'm a total Linux noob. As in I downloaded Fedora 40 (Nobara) and I can use it to game, do office work, Discord, etc. but some pieces of software i.e. Sunshine (remote desktop) are pretty tough to unterstand. Can anybody pls help me? I downloaded it from flathub but I can't make it work...

One sticky point that took me a bit to clue in to was you need to login to an x11 session not the default Wayland. Unless sunshine has been updated to support wayland, this was about Feb I discovered that.

To change just log out and select x11 in bottom left corner of the login screen. Dont forget to switch back next time if you arent using sunshine
