Looks like this is Valve's first official release as a Flatpak package. You can grab the Steam Link for Linux from Flathub and you can see the reference files on GitHub. So you could host a game of your favourite co-op or multiplayer experience, let's say Stardew Valley, and someone only needs the Steam Link installed on whatever device they have available to join your game with a link you send over.

So why now? Well, Valve only just recently announced Remote Play Together - Invite Anyone, which uses the Steam Link to allow people without a Steam account to join a game hosted by someone else. I couldn't find any existing resources for installing steamlink on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, and steamlink doesn't work out-of-the-box. Previously the app was only supported for Windows, iOS, Android, or a Raspberry Pi but that ends now with the official announcement today adding traditional Linux desktops to the mix. The idea is that it allows you to stream content from Steam on one PC to another, or to a different device like an Android phone. Originally available as the Steam Link hardware that was discontinued in 2018, which Valve then replaced with the standalone application. Just wondering if anyone has tested that out yet.Valve along with their partners at open source consulting firm Collabora have ported over the standalone Steam Link application to the traditional Linux desktop. So was thinking I should replace the Link with a RPi 4. I actually ended up getting a switch for plugging in all the things in my bedroom because the Wifi has always been sketchy there.īut I tried my Steam Link last night for the first time since I upgraded my desktop monitors to 4k, and it filled with all sorts of issues (though surprisingly had an update install!) But there were issues with trying to smash 4k resolution into whatever the Link can push, plus issues with it only covering a quarter of the screen, even though I changed the desktop to 1920x1080. But that doesn't help when the Wifi connection is not great due to interference from so many other things. Now I know the Steam Link for some reason only has a 100MB ethernet Jack, and really, the wifi is faster. So I know there is now a new streaming app specifically for Raspberry Pi, but the questions I have are Ģ) Will it work better if I have 4k screens (on both the Linux desktop box, and my TV)?ģ) Is it more stable connection wise than say the Steam Link?
