im using Nobara Linux 39 KDE, (Based on Fedora 39) and i litterally CANT use gamescope, i also use an amd card. (RX580 2048SP) and no matter what i try it doesnt work i was told to download the flatpak version if using flatpak steam, didnt work, i've tried Lutris, it didnt work, i've tried SteamTinkerLaunch and even that didnt solve my problem, so i have litterally NO clue why this isnt working, and i also dont know where log files are generated. Whenever i use the command Gamescope steam just instantly closes the game as if i never opened it

Your issue is probably the same as #1218. Check out the thread to make sure. A temporary solution is downgrading gamescope to 3.14.2.

hmmm yeah fedora distros are all still on version 3.14.2... I guess you could try downgrading to a version older than that: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=32706

(and, yes, from what I can tell fedoraproject.org is indeed the official fedora site, tho I'm not sure if the built packages available on koji.fedoraproject.org/koji are signed by the official fedora signing keys. I think that dnf will automatically try to verify any package you install, and warn you if it doesn't trust the key that signed the package, but I'm not entirely sure...) Specific instructions:

EDIT: OH, I just realized that Nobara Linux actually uses gamescope-plus: https://nobaraproject.org/docs/modification-details/details-on-the-listed-modifications/ hopefully that won't be an issue with regards to downgrading
