I got moonlight going on my handheld, but it really wasn't great. It started off promising but the performance just wasn't there trying to stream to it and so I would watch 7 seconds go by and a change on the display wouldn't make it to the remote unit. It could just be that a usb wireless n network card can't keep up, but it could also be that the weak CPU on the handheld can't keep up.
HOWEVER
The toolchain of "Sunshine" as a server and moonlight as a client is a game changer for my chromebook (armhf architecture) running debian. Suddenly I can use the tiny fanless laptop as a thin client for my main PC. In fact, I'm writing this post from that chromebook while listening to a youtube video, and all that's happening on the main PC. Writing a post in a web browser isn't that important, this thing can already surf the web. What this thing can't do is virtually everything else I can do with a full power PC. I don't have terrabytes of storage, or an RTX video card, or tons of memory, or lots of CPU power, but I have all that on my main PC.
