macOS Steam Link *not* fullscreen
I have my M1 Mac mini connected to a 32x9 UWHD display, Using the Steam Link app I end up with a full screen centered with black boxes on either side... What I'm hoping I can do is take it out of fullscreen, just have a portal window to my wintendo. Is that possible with the current version, and if not is it something in the works?

If you launch the app with the --windowed flag, it will behave the way you want... but be very careful, if you try to use the menu or do half a dozen other things while running like this, the app will crash, it clearly wasn't intended to be run in this mode. Just launch your games and try not to touch anything else once it's working. But, it does work.

To launch the app with the --windowed flag, open up a Terminal and type:
/Applications/Steam\ Link.app/Contents/MacOS/Steam/ Link --windowed
