Can you seriously just put the build requirements / dependencies / packages to install in the README instead of wasting people's time? User should not have to dig up old Reddit posts for mysterious clues on how to maybe get this thing to build.

I think the problem is that there are so many different distributions that you'd have to list the dependencies for. With that said, you can look inside meson.build for a list of dependencies: https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/blob/master/meson.build

libxres-dev & libxres

many github build sections will include build instructions and dependencies for multiple distros i dont see why you wouldnt offer this. anyone willing to compile a list of dep & different distro is welcome to submit PR for the Readme or shove it over here https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/wiki/Distribution-specific-instructions
