A Steam Deck Everywhere (blog.doomsdayrs.page)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/19558837

I figured out how to easily use Steam headlessly for Remote Play on Linux.

Took me a few hours to figure out, with some questions asked, but with this, I no longer have to deal with Sunshine or other janky ways of playing (steam) games remotely.

I'll be making a repository with some packaging andother convenience functions soon.

I was excited for a sec then saw it requires steam link. The only idea I had for a remote steam setup involved a ps vita, which can only do it through moonlight/sunshine. Unfortunately that requires having a display plugged in. I tried patching drivers and all sorts of other crap and none of it did anything at all. Dummy HDMI plug would be an option but if I had to spend money I'd rather just get a steam deck.

While this solution may work for phones or tablets or some such, you either have to lug around a controller or deal with touch controls. Not to mention having to either fork out for a 300mbps upload and download internet connections at both ends or taking a pill that makes you not see JPEG compression.

Check out Wolf. It uses Sunshine and doesn't require a dummy plug.

This is interesting! Didn't come up in my search back then but I'll definitely check this out.
