Hey, everyone! This has been moved to https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale. Go check it out there, give it a star, whatever.

As mentioned earlier, when I tried running Johnny Blocks' solution, it did not create a symlink as described. I tried making a symlink manually as well with no luck. Here is the full output from my terminal:

(deck@steamdeck TailScale)$ sudo systemctl enable --now tailscaled.service Job for tailscaled.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status tailscaled.service" and "journalctl -xeu tailscaled.service" for details.

@SummerFoam233 might be better to open an issue on the new repo, can help you debug on there, i think this thread is abandoned
