Ok but most of my games use Quick Resume so I am playing in under 15 seconds. To be honest the Switch has taken the crown for picking up where you left off since 2017.
I’ve used Moonlight but prefer not to stream really. Would be interested in how the latency is these days.
In the past I’d have said PC all the way but these days I’m glad both options exist. Biggest draw to the PC for me is mods. Would be tempted to make a dedicated SteamOS box next gen.

I just timed my setup, takes 35 seconds to boot my most recently played Steam game. So yes, double your time… But also less than a minute, less than what it takes me to take a glass of water or something.

It varies a lot depending on the setup, some can be quite bad. Mine is got 8 ms of latency. Considering the Xbox Series controller operates at 20 ms of input latency, I don’t see that as a major issue.

There’s a loooot of fun to be had in building small form factor PCs nowadays. Unlike a decade ago, you can now find really nice cases, very low profile coolers, and GPU models that are very thermally efficient. Though again, with a cheap CAT6 cable, you can also just build a thin client to decode Moonlight for you and you won’t even know it’s streaming - things improved a lot recently.
