Yeah I have a T480S and it barely runs WoW Classic. I’ll sometimes do light games the iGPU is capable of. Most of the time I use my desktop to run games, and if I want to play it on this machine, I’ll use Moonlight and Sunshine to stream over to it from the desktop. That machine is a 3090 paired with a 12700KF though. It runs whatever I want it to.
I don’t have off-LAN game streaming working entirely just yet, but with ZeroTier you can theoretically run everything remotely - my upload speed is probably the limiting factor there, but the internet works well enough otherwise for Plex streaming off-LAN.
A Deck would probably run FFXIV pretty well, and with the form factor of a controller that you’re used to playing with.
I like this idea. I know some games let you play for 60 minutes. All games should have a timer. Once it is up, game ends. If you like it, buy it and continue on.
Ideally, they would just release a demo mode that cuts to the action so you get a feel for the mechanics, or just have a prologue for each game where you taste the action in the first 20-30 min before all of the exposition.

I have it on PC. There are a lot of games on it, but only about 10 I really want to play. I have PS+ highest tier and I feel the same way.
I think these services are like cable: 120+ channels, 5 thinks worth watching.

FFXIV runs well on Linux with the equivalent hardware you would have used for Windows. Maybe less, actually.
Only thing that doesn’t work, which you wouldn’t have used on console would be a shader mod, but that’s splitting hairs.
I’ve run FFXIV on Arch (EndeavorOS) and Fedora (Silverblue) and they both perform on par or better than running the game on Windows.
Proton has done wonders. It’s legitimately incredible, the explosive growth of Linux gaming through Valve’s work.
