Fedora 40 - COPR causing DE to crash

[BrycensRanch]

Gamescope triggering complete freeze of Plasma 6 DE.

Note: Audio from other applications such as Google Chrome still continues playing, the game itself never seems to get to a state where it's able to even THINK about playing audio, lol

As the title says, my entire desktop environment crashes when I actually try the COPR at the moment. Also, maybe it's the more up to date wlroots? Fedora 40 provides a sufficient wlroots btw. When I use the same semver version gamescope package from Fedora's repos.

Thanks for the report, I wonder what is a good way to approach this. In the git branch they did update the required version to be 0.18, the current stable build can still use the 0.17 version in Fedora's repo. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/commit/ef90e1f933afa32aca54fa0332779fb40375aa0a

@BrycensRanch I changed it so the newer wlroots is only used as part of the build process for gamescope. Let me know if that works there.

Alright, I'll give it a try today. Thanks!

This seems to have fixed the issue, besides gamescope generally sucking with NVIDIA GPUs, lol. Thanks!
