Tailscale client definitely needs to be installed and logged in on the destination device (Steam Deck in this case). Is it possible that you are typing “Sudo” instead of “sudo” in the command after opening Konsole? Linux commands are case-sensitive.

I’m not knowledgeable about the steam deck, but it is also possible that sudo is not installed by default, in which case you will have to install it. sudo is a command that allows you to run other commands as root (basically admin).

I found this article that might help: pimylifeup.com/steam-deck-sudo-password/

Actually, watching the video it looks like they first enter:

cd Documents/deck-tailscale/

then enter:

sudo bash tailscale.sh

If you don’t have the directory Documents/deck-tailscale/, then you will have to go back a step and find out where GitHub Desktop is storing the local files.

    Running it from a file explorer may not work due to permissions.

    This probably is the issue, when you download a script or binary from the internet it doesn’t have execution permission, you would have to right click on folder to open in terminal (that way don’t have to cd to it), and check permissions with ls -la if it doesn’t have permission, change it with chmod

You have to setup a sudo password originally to install things in desktop mode but that has been done, sudo is not the issue. literally copy and pasted from this article. It fails on step 2 claiming the directory does not exist.

  use ls command, as in the video, to list the contents of a directory, then use cd to change directory based on what you see. You can use cd … to navigate to the parent directory of your current location if needed.
  
  Also make note of the Local path shown when cloning the repository in the previous step to help find it. When you see “tailscale.sh” as one of the items after typing ls, then you will know you are in the right place.
