The main issue I have with these services is content vanishing from the sub as my playtime is so erratic these days due to other commitments...

With the current model at least I can come back in 6 months and be, for the most part, sure the game will still be there.
VR is absolutely insane, I am officially a convert and it works mostly great on Linux

Quoting: g000hI'll be interested to know if you're still using it with gusto and fervour in 6 months time.

Yeah, this.

I've considered buying in a number of times now but I've held fire - concerned it will be amazing, but short lived

Quoting: M@GOidI hadn't heard about ElementaryOS for a while. I go check them out and I discover they are behind a paywall now. So is not surprising that they disappeared from the news lately.

Quoting: ripper81358Good news, at least for those hosting their games on Windows or on linux with an Nvidia GPU. Linuxusers owning an AMD GPU are still out of luck with steam remoteplay because it is still lacking GPU based hardwareencoding for videostreams via VAAPI.

Streaming fine from an Ubuntu KVM guest using an AMD graphics card (soft encoding works fine)

Softwareencoding might work on a system with a more highend CPU and a wired networkconnection. In my case it stopped working in a decent way after switching from Nvidia to AMD. Since remoteplay was never an ideal solution for me because of several games not working correctly i stopped using it. I am connecting my rig directly to my A/V Receiver for now.

You do need more CPU horsepower, yes, but it does work - your post stated it didn't
