• My steam deck does have decky installed

Steam Remote Play seems to be having an issue in game mode when streaming form a Linux system.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Select Stream game from your Linux PC while in game mode on steam deck
   • The game I was using was Pacific Drive, although it's not limited to only that game. But I think games with a pre-launcher may be more likely to cause this issue.
2. you'll see the launcher popup on steam deck and freeze the deck.
3. The game will run as intended on the desktop and controls will still be passed through.

Typically I found that I'd have to either restart my deck, or enter desktop mode to get the deck working correctly again.

The workaround I found was to go to desktop mode and stream it from there, then everything works fine.
