Just bought a 2060. Tried it with steam link and with Gamestream.. big difference. Keep or return ?
You can run https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine as an alternative to GFE in February. With Moonlight as the client. It's not 100% there, but still pretty good.

Star Citizen: Question and Answer Thread
There's an alternative to Moonlight called Sunshine you could try.

Sunshine is a Game stream host for Moonlight, Sunshine is a self hosted, low latency, cloud gaming solution with support for AMD, Intel, and Nvidia GPUs
Im assuming that this project is just a fork of the original sunshine project ( https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine ) for the sake of maintaining and updating it and continued development. It looks like the docs page for this new fork is more thorough, but the Readme thats shown on Github should probably have more immediate directions for installation and the things needed for the gamepad support. The less clicks people need to go through to get things set up and running, the better the experience for everyone its gonna be.

Nvidia removing gamestream from SHIELD devices
For anyone that wants to still use/run Moonlight after this is shut off, there is an open source gamestream server called sunshine that should realistically still work. I used this previously with an AMD 5700XT, and never had any issues with it, and it performs significantly better then the Steam Link app did.

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?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sunshine and gow you can also consider the following projects:
Weylus - Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer.
Sunshine - Self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight.
rustdesk - An open-source remote desktop application designed for self-hosting, as an alternative to TeamViewer.
x11docker - Run GUI applications and desktops in docker and podman containers. Focus on security.
RemotePlayWhatever - Tiny application that lets you force remote play together any game you have in your steam library including non-steam ones.
unraid-plugin - A plugin for running Games on Whales on Unraid
