SteamLink Alternatives for Linux Host?

[🌲🌌 Nomad 🌌🌲]

Title kinda says it all; I’ve loved using the SteamLink app on my Pi, and the VirtualHere software has been equally amazing, however… the virtualhere software has never worked on my Linux host; only on Mac and Windows machines. Recently, I asked about why virtualhere just didn’t launch on any Linux distros I’d tried, and the developer responded by saying that it wasn’t supported any longer on Linux. (Even though Linux support is still listed on the store page… ugh). All in all, are there any other alternatives for streaming my Linux host to my Pi similarly to the SteamLink software, or am I s-word out of luck? (SteamLink works fine without virtual here working, but if you hit the windows key or anything like that, it’ll cause the raspberry Pi start menu to open up… often breaking the stream…)

You could use a remote vm like Paperspace for linux host. they use Eltima Stub for usb passthrough ootb

Eltima is also available as standalone for installing to your own linux host.

Once you have usb passthrough set up you can still use Steam Remote Play (Steam Link app) or any other streaming app that supports linux host Raspi client for streaming Steam games. Parsec and Rainway are worth checking out
