docs: user-facing docs revamp — structured product docs + per-platform setup
Replace the dev/agent-log pages with a proper user-facing doc set:

- Getting Started: Introduction (rewritten), How It Works, Quick Start.
- Host Setup: Requirements, then clean per-platform guides — Ubuntu GNOME,
  Ubuntu KDE, Fedora KDE (new), Bazzite (rewritten) — plus Running as a Service
  (desktop / headless GNOME / headless KDE).
- Connecting: Clients overview, Moonlight, Pairing & Trust.
- Configuration: host.env reference, Host CLI, Troubleshooting.
- The dev/design notes (architecture, roadmap, the deferred design specs, CI)
  move to a clearly-separated "Project & Internals" nav section.

Removes the superseded box-specific pages (gnome-box, headless-box, linux-setup,
overview). status.md (the internal progress tracker, with box IPs) is kept as a
file but dropped from the public nav. Site builds clean.

title: Introduction
description: Low-latency desktop and game streaming from a Linux host to any of your devices.
---
import { Cards, Card } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/card'
**punktfunk** streams your Linux desktop or games to your other devices — a laptop, a Mac, a tablet,
a TV — at low latency and at **each device's own resolution and refresh rate**. Run the host on a
Linux machine with an NVIDIA GPU, connect a client, and you're streaming.
It's built for the things that make streaming feel native:
- **Your device's exact mode.** The host spins up a virtual display sized to the client that's
connecting — 1080p60 to your laptop, 1440p120 to your desktop, 4K to your TV — at the same time.
No letterboxing, no scaling, no juggling your real monitors.
- **Low latency, GPU end to end.** Frames go straight from the compositor to the GPU encoder
(NVENC) with zero CPU copies, and over a transport tuned for responsiveness rather than throughput.
- **Works with the apps you already have.** punktfunk speaks the GameStream protocol, so any
**Moonlight** client connects out of the box — and a faster **native protocol** with a dedicated
app for Apple devices.
- **Secure by default.** Hosts require a one-time PIN pairing; after that, devices reconnect on a
pinned identity. No accounts, no cloud.

## What you need
- A **Linux host** with an **NVIDIA GPU** (for the NVENC hardware encoder) running one of the
[supported setups](/docs/requirements): **Ubuntu** (GNOME or KDE), **Fedora** (KDE), or **Bazzite**.
- A **client device** to stream to — a Mac/iPhone/iPad/Apple TV (native app), or anything that runs
**Moonlight**.
- Both on the **same network** (LAN or VPN). punktfunk is designed for a trusted local network.
