The free and open source chiaki-ng project has a new release out for those of you wanting to Remote Play your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 to other devices like a Linux desktop, Steam Deck, Android, Windows and more. Who needs a PlayStation Portal right?
Reminder: it was originally called chiaki4deck where it vastly improved Steam Deck support over the original chiaki open source project, it was later renamed to chiaki-ng (chiaki-next-generation) to better showcase that it's for all platforms.
With version 1.9.1 a lot of things should be easier like waking up your console, here's all the new stuff:

Chiaki-by works really well for me. I use it on my Steam Deck a ton. Sometimes Remote Play on my PS4 Pro crashes and I have to go to the console and restart it. I’m not sure if that is Chiaki-nag’s fault but it usually only happens after several hours of playing.
The sweet thing about streaming to the Steam Deck is that it uses a lot less battery than a local game.
