Has anyone figured out a good solution to remote wake a PC from the Steam Deck? Seems silly this wasn't baked into the UI, considering this could be done from the Steam Link hardware back in the day.

I think you’re talking about Wake on LAN (WOL)?

Not done this from my deck, but do this from Linux machines all the time. You can easily do this from a command line, in the pacman sources there is a package called “wol”. So could just make a bash script to run it for the MAC address you want to wake. And this talks about adding a bash script to game mode.
