Now you can connect to your Pi with the Windows Remote Desktop Client software. You can install xrdp with the following command: I recommend to use xrdp on windows computers, because the remote desktop client is already installed. So basically is there any way at all to accomplish what I'm trying to do here? In a perfect world I'd like to be able to see the app running visually (either via VNC or something similar to X11 forwarding via ssh) so I know it's working without having to run up and down the stairs, and I'd rather not downgrade to Buster.This step should be done by having physical access to the Pi with mouse and keyboard, or by using a remote desktop tool such as VNC or xrdp.

I've tried using openvt to start it up in a virtual terminal as well but that requires sudo to run, and on doing that I get the error 'Cannot run as root user,' which is apparently an unavoidable Steam thing. Using RealVNC apparently doesn't output the non-GUI terminals so that isn't an option. Switching to a virtual terminal via chvt N or by pressing Ctrl+ Alt+ N and then running steamlink there works perfectly fine, but with the tv being upstairs and my pc downstairs, I'd rather be able to just remotely get it set up without having to bring a mouse / keyboard all the way upstairs. You can run on the console or downgrade to Raspberry Pi Buster.' 'X11 is not supported on this version of Raspbian. Running it from my pi's desktop gives me the error: I have a raspberry pi running Bullseye, and I'm trying to get SteamLink to work with it. So if anyone has a solution to that aspect of this problem that would be great! if I were to leave the pi on a tty accidentally and then try to access the pi via VNC outside of my home network I'm essentially screwed unless I open the ports for ssh which I'd rather not do for security reasons).

Only caveat here is that there's no graphical feedback, and basically renders RealVNC + VNC viewer useless (i.e.

I got this to sort of work via SSH from PuTTY on my pc, and then running sudo chvt 4 and then steamlink >/dev/tty4.
