I use gamescope on a separate TTY that directly launches either steam or heroic launcher. I find this works exceptionally well. No window manager needed as you are playing a game full screen anyway. It fixed some other things like HDR too but at a loss of the volume and brightness keys no longer working.
- Timon3 3mo agoThat sounds very interesting, do you have any links or references on how you set it up?
- tremon 3mo agoDon't know about gamescope, but the core of my own wine launch script is basically this: if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then /usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/dbus-launch "$(readlink -f $0)" "$1" -- -layout singleLayout fi pw-cli i || (pipewire & sleep .5 ;\ pipewire-media-session &\ pipewire-pulse &) cd "$DIR" exec unshare -rcn $ENGINE "$IMAGE" $ARGS and the rest of the script is about setting up the environment for the game: setting all the parameters used above, exporting the correct WINEPREFIX, mounting .iso's if required, etc.
- tim-projects 3mo agoI just used an llm to configure bashrc at login to offer a menu to fire it off. Either steam heroic or CLI (logging in as a separate game user) Gamescope replaces X or Wayland so you just run it and then the app you want it to open
