Description

I have heard this is a fork of [sunshine](https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine), and sunshine natively supports linux. When trying to build the openstream-server project, and even the openstreamhost directory independently, it seems to require Windows files. The [website](https://www.open-stream.net) says the hosting software is compatible with linux, and sunshine was too. If this is a fork of sunshine, how come the linux support wasn't maintained?

Research direction

Start by examining the openstream-server build and the openstreamhost directory, focusing on the Windows-specific files that prevent Linux builds. Compare the project’s stated Linux compatibility with the behavior of the referenced Sunshine fork. Done means the hosting software builds and works on Linux without requiring Windows files, with the supported scope clarified.
