Steam Link Not Detecting Hardware Acceleration on Intel N300
I am experiencing an issue with Steam Link on my Intel N300 device running Ubuntu 24.04 with Steam Link not using or giving the option for hardware acceleration. The Intel N300 uses the Alder Lake-N generation Gracemont cores and has integrated UHD Graphics 770.

The application does not detect hardware acceleration. Specifically:
  • The "Hardware Decoding" option is disabled and greyed out, preventing me from enabling it.
  • The "HEVC Video" status shows "Not Available."
I am using the Flatpak version of Steam Link (version 1.3.9.258).

Below is the output of vainfo:
