  • Desktop Mode & Steam Link

    My typical use case for desktop mode is to remote in using my laptop over local wifi. This worked fine for months. Initially I was using tyami94's Remote Desktop (https://github.com/tyami94/RemoteDesktop/).

    Alternatively you could use Steam, add this to your non-Steam games, and then you can stream your desktop to whatrever you're using. I've used this on my Deck before and it works fine.
