I'm working from a PC and although there are lots of options for below I used: Hopefully this guide will help you avoid the 100 dumb mistakes I made.įollowing the instructions provided is entirely done at your own risk, I take no responsibility if you break, brick or otherwise screw something up! What you are going to be doing is enabling SSH on your Steamlink (this is a way to communicate with the Steamlink over the network), then grabbing some files, then putting them onto the Steamlink in the correct place and a reboot and you'll be done. I'm very conscious that many Steamdeck people might be using Linux for the first time so wanted to be verbose but have also potentially done things the long way round as it's easier to understand what's going on (for instance, this could mostly be done on the Debian command line within the Steamlink but avoided that and opted for the GUI option everywhere!). I've specifically written this guide as in-depth as I can, but also as straightforward as I can. I'm a newbie to Linux (I run a few servers and some docker stuff but I've got to look up nearly every command repeatedly, also I'm used to Ubuntu and this is based on Debian which can be different in some respects - my hope is the Linux folk will add anything they think is relevant to this.) but I will help in any way I can here. Please note - if you have any issues - don't spam the poor dev as they don't know I'm posting this.
Please note: I AM NOT THE DEV OF THIS TOOL. This awesome human being made an auto login tool for Steamlink: The problem is a) the Steamlink has no power button (annoying) and you need a controller attached to turn it on (or wireless but that's a bit of a mess tbh) and b) unless you have a keyboard or controller attached it doesn't get past an initial screen asking you to plug one in and once you're in you need a keyboard or controller to select the Steam instance you wish to connect to. Yes, the display will be duplicated between the deck and the TV but hey ho, you can't have everything! (I believe you could do something about this but I've not looked into it). The plan is if I move to my livingroom, Steamdeck in hand, I can switch my TV to Steamlink, the CEC will automatically power on the Steamlink, and the steamlink-clac tool will auto log me in and I can use my Steamdeck as a controller (essentially) for TV gaming. What am I doing here and why would you want to do it? So, I don't have my Steamdeck yet so I'm unable to test this on SD specifically but it's working perfectly from my laptop. I posted this on Reddit but it didn't really "take" as it were so I'm hoping people here might find it useful.
