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

    Not fully open source and trying to get paid subscriptions even before having a product doesn’t sound too good to me…

      Well you do need paid subscriptions in such services. Nobody will buy hundreds of $2000 GPUs and give them for free use

      Just curious, what parts aren’t open source? At a glance it seems like they’re working on supporting self hosting and I couldn’t find any binaries.

    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.
