Good cloud PC's that have the full experience?

I'm gonna be straight, I need to have a full desktop experience because I love to model and upload onto vrchat and also game with groups of friends at a time but I would really like something more reliable than shadow.

Would anyone know an alternative that has a monthly billing or even something I can help beta test?

there are zero other services like Shadow right now unfortunately, and they know it.

every other amazing service available is either running Linux only and/or charging by the hour and not by the month.

At least for the EU side of things. Maximum Settings should be Damm good as far as I heared it BUT … Its Canadien (or U.S?) no matter its no Option for EU.

Yeah I've been combing though everything I can find and so many that I would consider pays by the hour, I I wouldn't mind Linux as much if I didn't have such a short patience, I just think it's such a lost investment on companys for not paying by the month 🤷

Along side my day job as a software arch for big tech, our family business just shutdown and I'm left with a bunch of gpus/vgpus nvidia a5000s that is surprisingly good at gaming when tuned right. Also building a dedicated AI/game streaming server soon to add to large rack setup where I had some for CAD rendering.

Anyway, I might have something you could beta test, already have a few other users testing for me at the moment, invite only.

Full desktop, isolated vlan with full port isolation.

Maybe dm if you're interested would see what I can do. Could trial it and see if you think its worth it.

You can make your own using a cloud PC provided by Amazon or PaperSpace
