And omfg!!! I’m amazed and blown away. I have this old PC that I’ve had since 2016. Replaced the old 1080Ti that died with an RX6600. Connected it to my TV in the basement and installed Bazzite OS HTPC on it.
A friend of mine has over 2500 games on his steam and gave me access through this family sharing feature. Man, I’m amazed. I didn’t know that steam mode has built in upscaling where all the games I play are now running ~50 - 60 FPS on medium to high settings on this 4k TV. It’s like having an actual console but with more games and better graphics. For controller, I got this Gamesir cyclone 2 and it’s freaking fantastic. Just trying to figure out how to wake the “console” using the controller. I don’t think I’ll ever touch my PS4 pro ever again.
I did have one issue where Bazzite wouldn’t wake up after suspend, but fixed that by disabling runtime power management for AMDGPU by Adding options amdgpu runpm=0 to /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf and disabling the wake up animation for steam mode.
That’s it. Just came here to share with you all this amazing discovery. lol
There is nothing special about setting up the library. It’s just your normal steam. You install the distro and then log into your steam account. That’s it. No virtual network or anything. If you meant something else, please elaborate so I can answer to the best of my abilities
Sorry I somehow failed to include the word “sharing”. Last time I tried setting up a steam family it said we had to live at the same address.
It was updated fairly recently to include remote shares. There’s nothing to set up.
No worries. The sharing of the library is done on the library owner’s side. My friend added me as a family member to his account and I had to turn on family sharing on my end, and all of his games just showed up
