This repository contains metadata to build a standalone Steam Link client for desktop Linux. It connects to the full Steam application running on Windows or Linux on the same LAN, sends input events (controller, keyboard, mouse) to Steam and games running under it, and receives video frames from Steam and games.
Official support for the Steam Link client is on Steam's community forums at https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/10/. Please use this forum for any feature requests or issues with the Steam Link client.
The issue tracker in this repository is limited to issues with the Flatpak packaging of the client and integration with Flathub's runtime.
The steam-devices udev rules will be required for full functionality of some USB HID and Bluetooth HID game controllers. These cannot be shipped as part of a Flatpak app, and need to be installed on the host system.
If the full Steam client that is being remote-controlled is also running on Linux, for best results it should be running under X11 (Xorg). "Rootless" Xwayland displays in a Wayland session, such as GNOME in Wayland mode, will only partially work. However, running this Steam Link client in Xwayland shouldn't be a problem.
