minus-squarevinnymac@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-29 hours agoIf you want to use WOL you’ll need an adapter/dock with an Ethernet port. Then use nmcli (network manager cli) to accept magic wake-up packets: nmcli c modify “Wired connection 1” 802-3-ethernet.wake-on-lan magic See more info here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wake-on-LAN Then you just send a magic packet using your Steam Decks MAC whenever you want it to wake up. Note: if you own an OLED Steam Deck technically you can just do this over Bluetooth with a controller instead, because of the hardware update.
