Nvidia Shield Streaming + Linux?

TLDR: Is there anyone who knows how well game streaming from a Linux computer to a Moonlight client works?

Oh, you didn't stop reading after the tldr? Ok, here's my life story.

Long time ago I was an avid Linux user and I still have a tender spot for the OS. Gaming under Linux was just a dream but as the end of the century came close (yes, I'm that old), ID released a Linux port of Quake II, and then came a flurry if titles that I still have boxes editions of; Civilization:CTP, Myth II, Soldier of Fortune etc.

Nowadays I use Windows for most things - also of course gaming too. My setup is a big (and pretty noisy) computer in my bedroom, and in the living room I have a fanless HTPC and run Moonlight to stream the games from my main computer (the streaming support built into Steam does not work quite as well, but it is a backup I guess).

Anyone knows if I could do this if I switched back to Linux? On the windows computer I enabled Nvidia Shield, but I get the impression that isnt supported under Linux. How well does Sunshine work?
