  • As someone with “founder” status in both services, Stadia’s user experience was far better. It also had the best latency with its direct connect controllers.

    While GeForce Now made some steps towards mitigation and cooperation, with 2FA it’s often still a mess of tediously logging into PC launchers before finally being able to play. And because the hardware changes every time, this repeats before every session.

    GFN’s library of compatible games is still stupidly limited, yet has all remaining competitors beat by a wide margin. And it has by far the most powerful hardware.

    Both of those things probably make it the best streaming service right now, and outweigh the shortcomings. But “good” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.



  • Are you seriously suggesting running a Plex server on the Steam Deck in addition to the Plex media player? Because last I checked, the Plex media player can play (I think) but not index them. I’m a happy Plex user with lifetime Plex pass, but that’s just stupid.

    Kodi is a solid standalone solution for exactly what OP is asking, with controller support. Kodi wouldn’t be my first choice for networked media playback, but it’s brilliant for exactly OP’s use case. And it really isn’t laggy unless you overload it with plugins.
