What do you think of this project and cloud gaming in general? I thought it's dead already

Cloud gaming is definitely the future, I stuck a oldish amd video card in my server and use it for plex transcoding and steam headless so van play a decent amount games on my phone anywhere I have 5g, I hardly turn on my gaming desktop anymore and opted for a thin client laptop.

self hosted cloud going you might be right. But I'm currently forced to use geforce now to play fortnite with my wife cause Epic hates Linux and goddamn is it a miserable experience.

The 2-week fortnite phase every few months is currently the only reason I boot into Windows

Its the only thing keeping me on windows rn. Gonna have to figure it our before W10 support ends cause my wife won't drop fortnite and theres no way in hell I'm allowing W11 on our network.
