As a side note, there's work on WiVRn using this which is one of the main VR streaming options on Linux: https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/tree/proto/pyrowave

Does it use middle out compression?
- It has to, for optimal tip-to-tip efficiency.
  
  What if two guys already busted?
This is way beyond me, but congratulations!
- Not my code to be clear. Maister also recently got FSR4 working on Linux, among many other contributions.
Is this coming to a usable client? Like say an Android TV app or a Linux flatpak?
Is that wyvern app usable for 2d or is it only for XR?
- WiVRn is for VR, and I doubt it has any support for non-VR applications. It's FOSS of course so maybe it could be adapter for that use case, but it's probably better to integrate it into the likes of Sunshine/Moonlight.
  The algorithm and code were only released a couple of months ago so it's very early days.
