    You can already wake the device up over LAN

    If you don’t mind, could you explain how to do this? I frequently forget to leave my steam deck on when wanting to use steam link.

      If you want to use WOL you’ll need an adapter/dock with an Ethernet port.

      Then use nmcli (network manager cli) to accept magic wake-up packets: nmcli c modify “Wired connection 1” 802-3-ethernet.wake-on-lan magic

      See more info here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wake-on-LAN

      Then you just send a magic packet using your Steam Decks MAC whenever you want it to wake up.

      Note: if you own an OLED Steam Deck technically you can just do this over Bluetooth with a controller instead, because of the hardware update.

      EDIT: looks like 3.7.0 preview has added Bluetooth wake support for LCD models as well!
