Steamlink, however, does work on ARM. :)

Actually, it only works on Raspberry Pi or Android, not other Linux ARM systems. I've been frustrated by how closed off it is because I'd like to use it on my PineBook Pro.
I’ve never tried Odroid but Steamlink, even on a Pi4 is not without flaws. Pi3B+ wired has been mostly unsatisfactory for me and Pi Zero W/Pi3 wireless have been nearly inoperable.

Have you had a different experience? If so- what have I been doing so wrong? I’d love to get it to work on a Pi.

I used a USB AC-wifi dongle on my Odroid-Go Advance, and the performance/latency was about the same as my genuine SteamLink on a gigabit wired connection. The main problem with the Odroid-Go Advance was the screen resolution and size making most UIs unreadable or a chore to use. The screen resolution increase on the Super might help with that though; I plan on getting one once they release, so I guess I'll find out.
Screen resolution problems make a lot of sense. I’ve built a few Raspberry Pi gameboys lately with a 3.5” 640x480 screen and they look great but text is _tough_.
