Describe the Bug

Brand new install on Debian Trixie using the latest pre release build v2025.628.4510 but after installing this I am unable to start sunshine as I get the following error:

Failed to start sunshine.service: Unit sunshine.service not found.

This will also prevent it starting on boot.

I have tried other pre release build v2025.828.181854 as the latest stable build does not yet support Trixie. It has the same issue.

I resolved the issue in the discord server thread here by manually creating the service:

[Unit]
Description=Sunshine Service
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sunshine
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable sunshine.service
sudo systemctl start sunshine.service

I did not think on this further until another discord user reported having the same issue on Arch Linux. They also had to manually create the service file.

Expected Behavior

sunshine.service should be created

Additional Context

User blue.c on discord has also reported that a clean install on Arch and derivatives like CachyOS using the LizardByte repo has the same issue for them.
