I'm extremely interested in the prospect of self-hosted cloud gaming. Has anyone had any success with any specific platforms, such as Sunshine + Moonlight? Any ins/outs to the necessary software or hardware?

During the free time of Geforce Cloud (forgot the name), I tried the free tier.
It was neat but unremarkable.

Also tried the offering from Microsoft to play Halo 5 on my phone with an xbox controller.
It was a bit laggy but still doable in the campaign.

Nowadays I'm not so sure. Not even sure if my tries were so laggy due to my home infrastructure or because the datacenters were more far away increasing lag.
As per Youtube videos: Should be pretty neat if you can stomach the minimal lag

As for local streaming:
I played on my Chromecast with Google TV through the steam link app to my TV.
There was quite some lag but I could tolerate it even when playing something like Yakuza 3. But it was a bit annoying during timed events.
