The problem with hardware acceleration is how Google don't want to enable it on Linux, they repeatedly claim drivers aren't good enough in the past. With how powerful even low-end CPUs are nowadays, it's not too big an issue unless you are trying to play on older hardware. That said, my rubbish laptop can handle it perfectly at 720p over wireless, which is great considering it can barely run anything at 720p native (and Steam Play is out of the picture as no Vulkan support for the GPU).
I do hope eventually Google enable it, or at least stop making it so the force enable is a lie (it doesn't do anything).
Also recently I did notice it kept giving me 720p, so Stadia+ has been my saviour. Google absolutely NEED to officially add a way to pick between them and display it officially. Ridiculous it doesn't.
With Firefox getting hardware accel on Wayland, perhaps things will change eventually on that front...

My Stadia controllers work great with chrome. It's nice to not have Steam pop up every time I hit the home button as it does when wired. I got the Wasabi Green Stadia controller and it's so dang beautiful. I sound so stupid saying that, but it is a relaxing color to look at.
As much as I generally do not enjoy multiplayer shooters I am enjoying the crap out of Zombie Army 4. My Stadia tag is SlaveZeo if anyone wants to add me and run some missions.
