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 this is wrong, please feel free to correct me, I’m happy to try again but the last time I tried sunshine would not stream due to the fact there was no monitor and no virtual monitor solutions would work.

Just confirmed on call with my sibling, my desktop had 0 monitors plugged in, and this method works for me. Maybe try it out and see?

I’m not emulating a PS Vita, I am streaming PC games to my actual real OLED OG PS Vita.

Oo, That sounds awesome! How long have you been doing that?

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.
