      Laptop , steam deck would be cool but you have a good gaming PC. Cooling wise desktop is best anyway, and maybe cost wise too
      If there would be a way to remotely wake up the PC if im away that would be cool
      And yeah if it would restart on driver crash and whatnot , as steam starts automatically anyway

      You can do this function with ps5 but unless you paid 100 dollars for that nice looking streaming ps5 mobile device then you can’t just use the phone to stream the ps5 from any network. You’d have to use the network that the ps5 is connected to.

    You have to leave your pc on to play the games. What a lame thing to do 😂.
