MoonDeck development is stopping
Hello!
I've been developing MoonDeck (a Decky plugin) for nearly 4 years and 10 months. It's finally time to hang up my hat.
If you're interested in taking over the project, contact me on Decky's Discord (preferably in MoonDeck's support channel) and we'll figure out how to hand it over. Otherwise, the process of removing the plugin from the store will start at the end of this month.
I never really made a post about this plugin on Reddit, but I've seen posts about it here and there (for better or for worse...), so I decided to at least let people know 😆.
The biggest reason for this decision is that Steam Remote Play has simply become too good recently (it took them 4+ years, but better late than never). So good, in fact, that for my use case I'd been accidentally streaming over Wi-Fi instead of LAN without being any the wiser, all while thinking "oh, this is so much better than my current setup". I only realized it when my router became a choke point at certain times of the day, because Steam was using Wi-Fi instead of LAN (see SteamOS#2512 for more info and a workaround). At this point, I see no reason to use Moonlight anymore.
That's all, folks! It was a nice experience while it lasted!

Steam controller can't pair to both internal puck & external puck? I am interested in having my puck connected to my PC so I can easily switch my controller back and forth between the two devices. It seems like this is not possible today due to this bug: SteamOS#2589 (pairing to one or the other overwrites the existing pairing). Has anyone found a work-around that works for them? This was one of the main selling points of the controller for me so I'm a bit surprised it seems to have been broken for months now.
TV turning on by itself after the latest Steam update? Anyone else’s Steam Machine randomly turning their TV on while left running? Nobody is touching the controller. CEC is enabled, but all four power-sync options are off. SteamOS 3.8.28, Steam client 1791918634, LG C4. Seems to have started after the October 13 update. Filed a bug report with the logs/details: SteamOS#2942
