I figured out how to easily use Steam headlessly for Remote Play on Linux.

Took me a few hours to figure out, with some questions asked, but with this, I no longer have to deal with Sunshine or other janky ways of playing (steam) games remotely.

I’ll be making a repository with some packaging andother convenience functions soon.
