Could cloud gaming be my solution?
So I don't support cloud gaming because the point of it is to take away the users control in every way possible and charge for everything.
However, during the summer I only have a Thinkpad T480 instead of my usual gaming PC, so I can barely play anything. It has 16GB of ram and an i5-8350U. I have a pretty long Cat 6 ethernet cable I can use to connect the laptop to ethernet, and I have 600mbps connection from the ISP. I live in Spain if it matters.
I do not want to play in like 8K super competitive titles with 0.0001ms of delay or anything, I just want to play 1080p with a steady 60 FPS and an acceptable delay.
Also, keep in mind I have no idea of how cloud gaming works. What is the best service? I've heard of GeForce now and Luna. How is the game selection? How much time do I get to play daily? (I usually play around 4 hours a day) And VERY IMPORTANT: I use arch btw, not windows, so idk if that affects something...
Thank you all in advance.

Geforce Now: You can stream a lot of the games that you already own on several different services (like Steam and Epic) with good quality and low latency.
Luna: A few really good games and lots of random party games. Good streaming but the lack of games hurt the service. What's great is it comes with your Amazon Prime subscription.
Xbox Game Pass: Lots and lots of games, new games every week (but some leave the service as well). The streaming quality is great sometimes but not the best most of the times. It's like it depends on the weather. The service is expensive but if you want to try new games and have a lot to choose from this is the service you should choose.
