Not really. You need another PC running for it and it didn't really work last time I tested it with Linux. Even when it worked from a Windows machine there were regularly really bad picture artifacts.
Also is the Steam Link even sold anymore?
Anyway, using the Deck is a simple plug and play solution.
I believe it was retired several years ago, in favor of software solutions.
Steam Link has been rolled out into software that works of a variety of devices, including phones.
That being said, Moonlight/Sunshine performs better if you're willing to put in the work to get it set up
