Ah also forget local streaming also is nice if you have a handheld and 
wnat full visual fidelity without any comppromises. I occasionally use 
this path on the Steam Deck with the PC running in the background (or 
the PS5 for this matter, there are similar solutions to stream from a 
playstation)
But again for PC -> PC based handheld sunshine+moonlight is superior to 
the Steam Link solution!
