Yeah, I hear you, we're getting there. Our next major feature release will be Raspberry Pi support with controller support.

Does that also imply general linux support, or would you only have a closed source arm binary?

Luckily the video processing libraries provided by Intel/NVIDIA/AMD are cross platform (Win32/Linux). So the arm specific video processing code for the RPI is a different can of worms, the rest of the client (window creation, polling for input, etc) should be able to support Linux and X11 generally.

Cool. How 'gaming' specific is the platform itself? It seems very similar to an optimized version of PCoIP.

Actually not gaming specific at all. You can think of it like a high performance remote desktop app that happens to work really well for games.
