This is a great way of having more flexibility in your gaming. You must have the game already installed on your PC, otherwise, it won't work.
If your signal strength is sufficient, click Start Playing to open your PC’s game Library on your Mac. Steam will then test your connection (hence the recommendation for a wired connection). Enter that number on your Mac device when prompted, to link your devices. A PIN will appear on the host PC’s screen.Click the device’s name from the list once it appears. Link will search your network for your PC.It's worth noting that some games will work with a keyboard and mouse. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your controller, or click Skip if you’re using a different input device.Open Link on your Mac and click Get Started.Make sure your PC and Mac are connected to the same local network.Download Steam Link from the macOS App Store.Assuming you have the equipment you need, this is what you do: The app will tell you if a game is compatible or not. You also need to be mindful that to use Link, you may need a compatible Steam controller.

If the resolution of the host display is set in-game to the same as the client, that's that much less work the client has to do. It sounds like as much of the work, including graphical work, as possible should be done on the host. Remember, the client can be a low-performance device, so long as it can sufficiently play the stream, as it doesn't handle rendering the game's graphics. While it would be feasible to do this on a headless server with a beefy processor and minimal graphical power, you're almost certainly going to get better results if a decent enough GPU is used on the host.
Ideally, the hosting machine would need to be powerful enough to play the game and to encode the stream simultaneously. Does the hosting machine need powerful graphics or would a headless Xeon PC server work well? I ask as I am looking at getting one anyway to host opensim and that only being a database doesn't require much in the way of a GPU the graphics being handled by the client viewer.
