Anyone got this to work between a linux host and a steamdeck?

I am using the arch package of steam on the host, I opened the necessary ports, but I can’t get the two to download from each other (just to be safe I completely disabled the firewall on both devices and tested, doesn’t work).

Steam’s remote connection logs mention receiveing broadcast from the other device and when I start the download, the server briefly starts saying “hosting local file transfer” in its downloads page but stays in 0% a little while and disappears.

The client here is a steamdeck and its hardware supports receiving. Either way, even if its cpu is bottlenecking, it’ll be faster than downloading from the internet.

Can you maybe try connecting them directly to each other without a router and without internet? Afaik KDE has a hotspot button/setting somewhere.
