I never understood these things until I went back to university. Now I totally understand having my life on my laptop and just being able to sit down and plug in for a gaming experience.
I don't like using my desktop that much anymore because I spend so much time on my laptop, and syncing files over nextcloud is meh.
I mean sure, but I'm not always connected and my cell plan has a limit.
Stg some colleges regressed in their network. I transferred colleges and at my old college, I occasionally struggled to stream steam games from my desktop in my dorm. The university I graduated from last had proper gigabit. I knew some people form my old college and it somehow got worse.
It's like a few mb best case scenario. Most people were getting really bad dsl speeds. For me, my game streaming was horribly compressed and almost unplayable.
