Now, launching games does not work... This sure lacks some polishπŸ˜…

I got it to work following the customization instructions on their GitHub. The only problem that remains now is the still invisible menu.

Also, switching to desktop works now, but the menu is still invisible.

That session does not work for me at all, or to be precise, it works only when I disconnect my second display. I might have to search for an option to disable that before launching the session.

That helps a lot, thank you! I will look at it. Would really appreciate if you shared your work. Do you have the problem where you don't see the menu or is this only me?

Gamescope/Steam Deck UI on Arch Linux - How do I exit? (lemmy.world)
 

I added a custom session to my display manager which starts Gamescope with the Steam Deck UI. This works great mostly, but exiting it is a challenge.

  • Trying to bring up the menu just blurs the screen. The menu can be navigated with the gamepad, but it does not show up. Submenus do show up (e.g. power settings).
  • With this menu's power settings, I can restart the computer, but the "switch to desktop mode" menu point just brings up an OSD saying "switching to desktops" which just stays there and does nothing. There is no (apparent) way to log out and end up back at the display manager.

So my questions are:

  • Is it possible to get the menu to show up at least? Is this a known issue?
  • Is there a way to "log out" to get to the display manager? Maybe it is possible to bind a custom command to the "switch to desktop mode" toggle?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is kind of where I am stuck - the repo only has a "metadata.json" file, nothing else.

Yes, I am pretty adept with python and have played around with C and C++

In Plasma 6, multiple regression happened to the application dashboard, which is by far my favorite launcher. I did file bug reports and all that, but I would love to try to contribute by fixing some of the bugs. Where do I start and what are the required skills?

What do you mean? Which desktop management paradigm?
