Can't stream from steam deck to Fedora 42 laptop
I can't get video streaming to work from my steam deck to my Framework 13 running Fedora 42. Audio works perfectly fine, but all I see is a black window with a loading wheel in the bottom right. This is not an internet issue, as both devices are right next to the router and connected to the same network, and it isn't an issue on the Steam Deck side, because streaming to my phone works. My steam client is up to date. I have tried disabling hardware encoding and decoding, as well as HEVC video. AV1 is greyed out. This is the system information log:

Have you tried disabling hardware decoding in the Steam Link streaming settings?
Yep, issue remains with all hardware encode/decode combinations I’ve tried
