I made a steam console

How did you set up the steam library? Did you have to set up a virtual network or something?
There is nothing special about setting up the library. It's just your normal steam. You install the distro and then log into your steam account. That's it. No virtual network or anything. If you meant something else, please elaborate so I can answer to the best of my abilities

Sorry I somehow failed to include the word "sharing". Last time I tried setting up a steam family it said we had to live at the same address.

Did you follow a guide? If so, can you link it?
A guide on the installation? Just a normal distro install if you've ever installed one. I chose the HTPC iso to make sure I'm getting the full desktop power alongside the gaming mode and installed. I have several drives and it was so cool to realize that Bazzite set them to mount automatically at boot (one of them is even NTFS), all I did is tick them in the installer alongside the one I installed the system on and the distro like understood that I needed them mounted at boot automatically.
Here their guide in case you need it

No worries. The sharing of the library is done on the library owner's side. My friend added me as a family member to his account and I had to turn on family sharing on my end, and all of his games just showed up

The one in the steamdeck does, which is how it achieves the ability to be woken from a controller.
Small correction, only the OLED model has that, it's essentially the only gripe I have with my Deck.
You can also wake up the original Stram Deck with USB if you don't mind.

Yup, my steam controller is able to wake it up, haven't had luck with the 8bitdo yet, but I still haven't give it a try more than just plugging it and giving it a quick check

I've tried with it for a while, but couldn't get it to work. I'll keep messing with it.
Anything is possible with Linux if you pfaff around long enough. But I think you'll need a controller with USB receiver, you can't do it directly with Bluetooth.
Consoles have a whole other processor that looks for inputs like that while the main processor remains off. Those don't make much sense for PCs.

wrote last edited by [email protected]It was updated fairly recently to include remote shares. There's nothing to set up.

You're right. I tried for a little while and got tired of it. The controller I have is connected via a 2.4ghz dongle, so it's basically a USB. My PC sees it, but I just can't add it to the wake list for some reason. It kept failing. It's not really a big deal. When I want to play game I come walking to the basement, so I'm already on my feet. I can just walk to the PC and wake it up. Lol. We also have a mouse and keyboard by the couch anyway.

Thank you very much.

After faffing around with Steam Link to no avail again last night, I'm seriously considering something like that.
Have you tried Sunshine+Moonlight?

Thank you very much.
Absolutely

See the other comment about what Sunshine and Moonlight are, but I wanted to toss in I use that, as well as a stand alone instance of Steam on my living room PC. My living room PC is noticeably weaker than my main PC, so for some games I stream them via Sunshine/Moonlight, but for a lot of indie titles I just run them right in the living room PC.

Weird, I tried like 2 months ago. Will give it another go

Thanks. I'll give that a spin.
