Could you build this?
No Building a custom remote desktop client atop low-level streaming protocols like Moonlight/Sunshine requires deep systems programming in C/C++, low-latency video decoding, hardware acceleration, and OS-level window management.
What it would actually take: Requires deep C/C++ knowledge to interface with NVENC/Moonlight protocols (RTSP/RTP, ENet) and FFmpeg for hardware-accelerated video decoding. Window recall and persistent session orchestration require native OS APIs (Win32, X11/Wayland, or Quartz) to track and restore state. A builder must handle real-time packet loss concealment, jitter buffering, and virtual display drivers.
