Is Linux server support planned? My Plex is running on Centos after moving it from Windows a few years ago. Arcade seems fun, but I don’t really want to move back to Windows
The blog post explains this, if you can get past all the annoying hype. Plex is partnering with a company called Parsec, and Parsec only works on Windows and Mac:

depends on whether Parsec supports it.
many of our employees on linux have spun up a windows vm, mapped video card through and exported a game library like that.
Well how ? Would love to do it that way if possible ? Any guidance Elan ?
i haven’t tried myself but it shouldn’t be that tricky to get a windows VM running. search around on here and you’ll probably find guidance 
I certainly know how to create VM. I thought there was some ingenious way to just have the arcade service part of an existing plex server vs spinning a new server and using it that way 
oh i’m sorry! you need to have a separate windows server running. the plex user interface makes it pretty seamless to combine content across servers on the sidebar.
“Seamless” is a stretch. It’s not hugely inconvenient, but running multiple instances clutters up the sidebar and makes navigation more confusing than it has to be- especially for newer Plex users that already have a hard time distinguishing between free Plex hosted content and content hosted on a user server.
On the note of the original post, Parsec claims to support Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on their support site: Linux - Ubuntu 18.04 – Parsec
I’m not sure how it clutters up the sidebar, it’s a matter of having Games coming from a different server. Yes, a bit trickier to set up the first time, but after that the sidebar is no more cluttered.
Not for the hosting part.
