[Request] 64 bit Steam Link for ARM / Rasberry Pi OS 64
I tried searching to see if there was an updated Steam Link client for ARM64, but I was unable to find one. I'm surprised since Raspberry Pi OS 64 has been out for a long time now.

Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit is doing very well on the Raspberry Pi 4, and the Raspberry Pi 4 can now have up to 8 GB of RAM. Can we please get a native Steam Link (or Steam client with streaming and store browsing capability) for the ARM64? It sucks having to decide between running the most current operating system available, or having to bottleneck your system (to a degree) and have the ability to run Steam Link by rolling with the 32 bit client.

Is there working hardware accelerated video decode for the 64-bit OS? Last time I checked I couldn't find any working configuration.

I would imagine we might get a arm64 build eventually. It would enable steamlink on all sorts of devices.

If you want gamestreaming, then while you wait for that to happen you could try moonlight and sunshine(Required if you do not have a nvidia card or you are running Linux/Mac).

Sunshine Host

Sunshine has a few issues on Linux, like nvenc does not appear to be supported and you have to detach secondary monitors.

@Slouken This may be a moot point by now. It is my understanding that the hardware decode is now in place for 64bit. Depending on what libraries Steam Link uses it may require a different API. https://www.willusher.io/general/2020/11/15/hw-accel-encoding-rpi4
