Just go to Desktop Mode, install 'openssh-server' from Discover, and fire up those sudo commands to enable and start SSH. Easy peasy.

To enable SSH on your Steam Deck, you'll first need to switch to Desktop Mode. Once you're there, open up the Discover software center, search for and install the 'openssh-server' package. After the installation, open the Konsole terminal and type 'sudo systemctl enable ssh' followed by 'sudo systemctl start ssh' to enable and start the SSH service. Just make sure you've set a password for the 'deck' user before trying to connect remotely!
