I figured out how to easily use Steam headlessly for Remote Play on Linux.

Took me a few hours to figure out, with some questions asked, but with this, I no longer have to deal with Sunshine or other janky ways of playing (steam) games remotely.

I’ll be making a repository with some packaging andother convenience functions soon.

    If by “this method” you mean Steam Link like OP then yes that does work. It does not work in Sunshine however, and I need Sunshine, because obviously there is no Steam Link on a PS Vita.

    Obviously I tried the sunshine method out or I wouldn’t have outlined all the things I tried to fix it with otherwise.
