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.

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.
