Consumes the 0xCF host-timing plane (449a67c) on all four GUI clients: each
keeps a bounded pending ring of receipt samples keyed by pts, matches the
host's per-AU capture→sent reports against it, and the HUD equation becomes
= host 3.1 + network 6.7 + decode 2.1 + display 2.3
falling back to the combined `= host+network …` term whenever no timing
matched the window (old host / datagram loss) — same total, one split
fewer, never a misleading zero. Apple additionally gains the split as the
only equation line under the stage-1 fallback presenter (receipt is
presenter-independent), a `nextHostTiming` wrapper with its own plane lock,
and a unit-tested `HostNetworkSplitter`; Android extends the JNI stats
array 16→18 doubles (0–15 unchanged); Windows/Linux thread the split
through `Stats` into the HUD and the headless/debug logs.
Docs updated: design/stats-unification.md Phase 2 → implemented (wire
format, fallback semantics), and the docs-site matrix's Sunshine "Host
processing latency" row is now a direct match (ours includes the paced
send; avg vs p50).
Verified here: linux client clippy -D warnings green on the live tree,
windows stub check + hand-verified diff, android cargo-ndk arm64 check
green, apple loopback test extended (needs the rebuilt xcframework + swift
test on the mac). On-glass: pending on all platforms.

punktfunk — Linux client
The native Linux app for streaming a punktfunk host to your desktop, laptop, or Steam Deck. It's a clean GTK4/libadwaita app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and puts a low-latency stream on glass at your display's own resolution and refresh rate.
Built in Rust, it links the shared punktfunk-core directly (no C ABI) and speaks the fast
punktfunk/1 protocol — QUIC control plane, GF(2¹⁶) FEC + AES-GCM data plane.
Features
- Zero-copy hardware decode — FFmpeg VAAPI decode → DRM-PRIME dmabuf →
GdkDmabufTexture(Tier-1 zero-copy on Intel and AMD), with an automatic software-HEVC fallback on NVIDIA or when VAAPI is unavailable. - Your display's native mode — the host builds a virtual output at exactly your WxH@Hz; no scaling, no letterboxing. Steady 60 fps at 1080p60, ~6 ms capture→decoded on the LAN.
- Audio both ways — PipeWire playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
- Full controller support — SDL3 gamepads with rumble and DualSense fidelity (lightbar, player LEDs, touchpad, motion, adaptive-trigger replay). Click-to-capture keyboard and mouse, with a release chord (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q) and focus-loss release.
- Find hosts automatically — mDNS discovery lists hosts on your LAN; saved hosts persist. First connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a pinned identity.
- Per-host speed test to pick a bitrate, plus compositor and mode preferences in Settings.
- Game library browser (experimental, off by default) — "Browse library…" on a saved host shows its games (Steam + custom) as a poster grid; click one to launch it in the session. Fetched from the host's management API over mTLS — paired devices are authorized by their certificate, no extra host setup.
Get it
Most people should install a package rather than build from source:
| Distro | Install |
|---|---|
| Flatpak (any distro, Steam Deck) | io.unom.Punktfunk — see packaging/flatpak |
| Ubuntu / Debian (apt) | sudo apt install punktfunk-client (after adding the repo) |
| Fedora / Bazzite (rpm) | rpm-ostree install punktfunk-client |
| Arch (PKGBUILD) | see packaging/arch |
Per-device install steps and pairing walkthrough: docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/install-client.
Build & run from source
Requires GTK ≥ 4.16, libadwaita ≥ 1.5, FFmpeg 7 or 8 (with VAAPI for hardware decode), PipeWire, and SDL3 (with hidapi) development packages.
# from the repo root
cargo run -p punktfunk-client-linux # launch the app
cargo run -p punktfunk-client-linux -- --discover # list hosts on the LAN, then exit
cargo run -p punktfunk-client-linux -- --connect HOST[:PORT] # skip the host list and connect
The binary is named punktfunk-client. Handy flags: --connect host[:port] (start a session
immediately — for scripting and the Steam Deck launcher), --discover [secs], and
--pair <PIN> --connect host[:port] (run the pairing ceremony headlessly), and
--library host[:mgmt_port] (print a host's game library headlessly). Force a decoder with
PUNKTFUNK_DECODER=software|vaapi.
