    Hey Steam users, I'm wondering if you can help me troubleshoot an issue I am having with Steam Link. Some games work flawlessly, and some games just show a black screen (with game audio) on the Steam Link Client. I have tried this in various configurations and devices, but my host machine remains the same (PC running Bazzite)

    I have tried this wired via router (to Steam Link on raspberrypi OS), wifi (to steam deck), and cellular via remote streaming to the android app.

    The symptoms are the same on each setup. Games like Helldivers 2 and NMS run flawlessly, others are just a black screen.

    Also, big picture mode runs great until you bring up the menu, and then the screen goes black.

    Do you guys have any ideas?

    SOLVED

    thank you everyone for your suggestions! I switched to an X11 session and everything is working now with steam link!

    The point on surveillance hits home for me. Soon we are never going to be able to escape cameras pointed at us all the time and we won't have any privacy, in or out of our homes. Soon it will be frivolous to record everyone all the time.

    I wonder if this would be a good affordable gaming PC option. I have no desire to play Playstation games, so could I buy a PS5, load Linux on it and have performance comparable to a $1000+ PC?

    That's an interesting tool and it does seem to confirm there are almost no options out there!

    ***correction! I meant to say the iPhone 12 mini! There is an important distinction there and sorry to all who answered before this correction.

    Do you have the Ollee watch yourself? I know they can't guarantee waterproofness but I'm curious if anyone with experience can say whether it holds up in water

    I wish I could support your cause but I'm really looking for less connectivity, and therefore less time spent on my phone. But I have seen withing watches and they do look gorgeous!

    Do you have any experience with the Casio's? I like the look of them but I'm curious if the step counter resets itself each day.

    I'm looking for a digital watch with a step counter that ideally resets every day. I've had a few smartwatches and my latest Garmin is nearing the end of its life. I've decided that time and step counting is really all I need out of a watch. Can anyone reccomend a watch like this?

    Free Geek seems like a great cause. I probably won't donate this laptop to them but I will keep them in mind for the other tech I have piling up. Thanks!
