Tutorial | Autorun for Steam Link on Raspberry Pi 5 [Bookworm OS]

The GUI type of Bookworm OS using labwc (a Wayland compositor based on wlroots), this requires specific approach of autostart.

Labwc supports an autostart file located in its configuration directory. Here's how you can configure it:

Use ~/.config/labwc/autostart

Create/Edit the Labwc Autostart File:

nano ~/.config/labwc/autostart
Add the Steam Link Command: Add this line:
/usr/bin/steamlink &
The & ensures that it doesn’t block other processes.
Save and Exit: Press CTRL + O, Enter, and then CTRL + X.
Reboot to Test:
reboot

I was getting a "couldn't download archive, aborting update" message as my pi wasn't picking up an IP quick enough on the network. To get around this I changed the command to include a short sleep.

sleep 10 && /usr/bin/steamlink &

I was facing the exact same problem. I guess I should have put a sleep between the two. I did a lot of things and went a long way, but here was the solution. Thank you so much. You saved me a lot of time.
