When using Moonlight to stream from PC, Steam logs me out.

First off, this is not (yet another) complaint about wanting to play a game on Deck and on the PC at the same time. At least, I don't think so. That's not something I've ever wanted to do. But I think I've run up against the same problem those people are having --

Most of the time when I am gaming, I use Moonlight (the open-source version of NVidia's game streaming) on the deck to connect to my desktop PC where I can stream games to the Deck on my LAN, all in-house. The benefits to this should be obvious.

And it works flawlessly in all but one circumstance: If I pause the game and suspend the Deck -- maybe because I need to take a short break or just to move to a different room -- when I turn the Deck back on and re-connect to the existing Moonlight session, Steam on my desktop will have been forcibly logged out of Steam because "you're logged in to Steam on another device." Technically, true - I've been logged in to Steam on the Deck the whole time, though... *of course* and it's only causing issues when the Deck is suspended and then started. At no point am I starting any other games on the Deck or on the PC while the game is running on my PC. Moonlight itself is installed as a linux package, outside of Steam, but I do use an "External app" link to make it easy to launch from Steam.

So that's my problem, and it doesn't sound like it should be worth complaining about but not only is it super annoying, but I've even had some games crash hard after this point even when I've logged back in because they "lost their connection to Steam" (specifically, X4:Frontier did this to me recently). It's made far more annoying by the fact that I use a highly complex Steam password I have to painstakingly input and I do 99% of my gaming on the Deck using "AR" glasses so the QR code isn't scannable unless I get up, unplug the glasses, find my phone, scan the code... that's a major hassle.

(n.b. I know that Steam has its own streaming built-in which should be an easy solution to my problem, but for *years* I haven't been able to get it to work reliably on my LAN, where Moonlight is flawless.)
