  • You are saying steam link for VR correct? Because Steam Link itself works fine.

    The only thing I have to dual boot for is VR at this point. And I havent even done that in maybe 2 years. But it really is the final thing for me.

    All the other games I care to play work fine. The last two Resident Evil’s were flawless. Almost everything is pretty much click and play these days.

    I remote to other computers and remote into my own, so I take it you are using Parsec for something specific? I never used it before.










  • I am surprised anyone cares that much. I don’t. 900 games and a 20+ year old account and I fully get that it all just goes away when I die, it just doesn’t matter. That is simply part of the plan when you pay for the convenience of having a cloud of installers and save files.

    My kids don’t care. They already have their games. If they wanted ones that I played they will buy it in a steam sale.

    The things you need to care about are creative software. My kids would be pissed if the artwork I made could never be retrieved. But games? Meh.







  • Pyrosis did a great job answering a lot of your questions, I will focus again on why I cannot recommend plex:

    Opt-In is not acceptable. You need to opt-out of: data sharing, data sharing with partners (unless you are in the UK or specific States), sharing playback data, stopping discovery together and activity feed, and turning off all of their live tv and streaming services.

    Sharing streaming habits with others is not something that ever should have been opt-out. They keep pushing the line.

    By the way, several of the “features” you mention are not included by default. Hardware decoding, downloads, DVR, etc.
