I forked SteamOS for my living room PC
I spent some (too much) time trying to get pretty much the same thing running using GOW [1]. Was quite a bit harder than I thought, requiring a hdmi dummy plug to get the xserver config right etc.

Is there a self-hosted retro gaming service that does all these things?
This appears to be the official repo. https://github.com/games-on-whales/gow as shared by the developer here https://www.reddit.com/r/docker/comments/o4tz1c/gaming_on_a_server_running_retroarch_on_docker/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1

do you want Nvidia GeForce EXPERIENCES on Linux?
Native flavor Sunshine: https://sunshinestream.github.io/ Docker flavor Games-on-Whales: https://github.com/games-on-whales/gow For the client if you don't use a shield device you can use Moonlight. And their discord has channels for the 3rd party hosts. https://moonlight-stream.org

I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
I'm working on Games on Whales the goal is to make it easier to use docker containers in order to run videogames or GUI apps on a remote host.

Retro Gaming Server
I'm working on a side project if you are interested, we are trying to run everything in Docker at gow! So far we got pretty good results on Nvidia, even running games in Steam from a headless host.
- TL;DR Is there a Plex/ Nextcloud server for retro games on (or outside of) Linux?

I have gone through many small projects such as a P2P "airdrop-like" file sharing between PCs, a simple filehosting service with access management (in pair with my friend), GTK GUI for Ventoy.org before there was an official one, AI-powered webcam filter for linux allowing to shift viewframe of the camera to always center on your face, an Ubuntu remix with flatpaks instead of snaps (over 100 upvotes on r/linux, lol), and a number of not very linux related open hardware projects: a raspberry PI Compute Module 4 carrier board, a tiny implementation of raspberry pi foundation's micro-controller rp2040, as well as a 80% keyboard (which turned out to be kinda bad tbh)
