Two years on, Stadia seems to have no direction left

I was excited to try Stadia, but the latency of Destiny 2 was unacceptably shitty. I didn’t look into why this would be, but it was enough to turn me off the service for good.

Quoting: milkyBuggy? I've not experienced a single bug.
I find it stable too, and the workspace functionality rules. But is anyone else finding the “search for app” function not working anymore?

Talking about Flatpak, does anyone uses it? I had only headaches with it. After upgrading pop os all my Flatpak applications stopped working. Steam and many other apps haves issues to work after installation and requires extra configuration. And with steam it's quite problematic, because new proton versions do not work with Flatpak steam version. Or work, but again requires many extra tweaks. Basicly for people like me, who do not understands so much about background processes, it's just no, no. Even if goals are good.
I only use it for Steam. It takes a lot of headaches away ensuring I have the correct packages installed. The only downside I've run into is sometimes flatpak lags a bit updating their nvidia driver list, and some games don't run until they do- usually a day or two at most.

Quoting: 14Thanks for posting. Updating firmware is kind of scary to watch, but at least the steps are very easy.
It also worries me too! But I just updated and no issues.

Desperadoes III is a really fun game with many hours of content. Shadow Tactics I enjoyed even more.

Valheim is just an incredible experience you need to play

It doesn’t play well on my system. I turned all the setting down yet the FPS is really bad- anyone else have a similar experience?

Quoting: BigJI signed up for a free trial of Stadia but found Destiny 2 to be unacceptably laggy. Has anyone else had a better experience?
No, although I haven't played in a couple of weeks or so. Do you have any Chrome extensions running for Stadia?
No I don’t - would it help?
