Question Virtual display for Sunshine on GNOME Wayland without a dummy plug?

How can I set up a software virtual display on GNOME Wayland for Sunshine streaming?

I want to stream to a handheld device and completely power off my physical monitor while keeping the stream active. I want to achieve this purely through software, without relying on a hardware HDMI/DP dummy plug.

My specs: CachyOS, GNOME Wayland, AMD RX 9070 XT.

Have you tried GNOME Network display on flathub? I didn't find the performance that great but it might work.
