This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sadly, it seems Remote Play on Steam Deck is now broken.
Trying to play a game from a Linux or Windows host just results in a spinning Steam logo screen on the Steam Deck.
Weirdly, in my testing, the Steam Deck did get audio but no visual or input — the only choice is to press B to exit the stream.
The thing is, this has been a reported bug since at least February 3rd, when it was noticed from people on the Preview / Beta update channels with multiple confirmed reports.
Although, other reports have noted that it does work again in the current Release Candidate update available via Developer Options (for the next upcoming major update), which is not meant for any normal users so I wouldn't recommend changing it as enabling the advanced update channels could cause future problems.
Hopefully Valve will ensure this feature is fully tested when rolling out future updates to the Steam Deck.
