    Has anyone tried to run a vr game on the Steam Deck and used this app to stream it to the device? Is it doable?

      tbh, that’s exactly what I had in mind, If no one else has tried that, I am going to give it a shot later.

      While technically this is a maybe, in practice you really don’t want both the source and the receiver to be on wifi because you have to wait for the deck to send a wifi packet to the router before listening for the same packet from the router to the quest (yes this is a bit backwards but it is how we do wifi), everytime.

      A deck on an Ethernet adapter os probably gonna work better, but you still have the problem that currently VR on Linux is extremely hit-or-miss. I have a windows install on a separate disk specifically for VR purposes on my main computer.

      Apparently, Linux hosts do not show up when setting up the connection. Hopefully Linux support gets implemented ASAP.
