Steam In-Home Streaming?

I have no idea if it’s even possible but if it is, it would be sweet to be able to connect my Steam Deck to my old PC for in home streaming even after it has been converted to being HexOS box instead of Windows!

Unfortunately, Steam in Home Streaming only works if you also have Steam installed on your host PC. Since HEX-OS is based on TrueNAS and is therefore not a desktop operating system, this is unfortunately not possible. You could possibly install Windows or Linux as a virtual machine and use it to realise Steam in home streaming. However, this requires some technical knowledge.
It would be easier if you could simply install Windows/Linux on a second ssd and boot your old PC with it if necessary. You'll have to reboot every time you want to switch between Windows/Linux and Hex-OS, but it's the easiest option I can think of right now.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation
