From Martin Wimpress:

What follows is a guide to installing ZeroTier on the Steam Deck, but this technique can be used to install any software on Steam Deck that is available for Arch Linux 👍️

    Is this what I think it is? I can sit at my laptop and play games that run on my gaming pc? And it works with Linux host and client? With great performance?

          They do. I host on my arch PC and use both my steam deck and laptop. Acceleration is also supported across popular hardware.

            Any notablie differences between Nvidia vs. AMD based GPUs? I’ve read that Nvidia cards can struggle on Linux with certain software. If there aren’t any notable problems I will probably try Linux everywhere.

              I’ve not had issues with Nvidia outside of needing to patch drivers occasionally for my older 1070 (see here.)

              Unfortunately I’ve not tried streaming from an AMD device though I’m curious to try it from the Deck now (if only I had the time…)

                Sounds good. My gaming pc needed a complete blowout anyway so I’m trying to convert to Linux as we speak. A lot to learn. But it feels manageable and not as overwhelming anymore.

      Steam itself already does that if you’re on the same network, this solution just creates a virtual network
