Has anyone figured out a good solution to remote wake a PC from the Steam Deck? Seems silly this wasn't baked into the UI, considering this could be done from the Steam Link hardware back in the day.

You can get the steam link app from the discover store, that seems to work okay.

I think you’re talking about Wake on LAN (WOL)?

Not done this from my deck, but do this from Linux machines all the time. You can easily do this from a command line, in the pacman sources there is a package called “wol”. So could just make a bash script to run it for the MAC address you want to wake. And this talks about adding a bash script to game mode.

This is what I use and it works great.
