Easily Stream Non-Steam games from your PC

[☢︎Noob☢]

Not sure if what I have just found out is well known, but I've just stumbled upon a very easy way to stream whatever games you want from your PC on your Steam Deck without having to install browsers and edit boot commands.

All you have to do is install on your PC as steam game that first opens a launcher. Then you go on your steam deck and choose to stream that game. once it opens, simply minimize the launcher and boom... you have access to your whole PC library now. I'm playing game pass games on it without having to pay for their online streaming service and without lag.

Do you need to do this from desktop mode on Steam Deck, or can you minimise the launcher via the SteamOS? Not tried it yet but keen to play Alan Wake 2 from Epic Launcher (got the game free with a GPU and its what i was stuck with XD).

Big brain, used skyrim as the launcher and it worked!

What is the problem of adding games as Non-Steam-Games on Steam and streaming them?
Also, why would you need to "Install browsers and edit boot commands" to stream games from PC?
