Hello, I made a guide to integrate this package into an SDDM+KDE environment if anyone is interested.

Might want to remove the symlink at /usr/share/wayland-sessions/gamescope-session.desktop as it creates a duplicate entry in SDDM and other display managers (
bug report
).
Suggested patch:
diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index 4b547b1..094f62e 100644

I got this running alongside KDE. It is quite funny seeing the Deck UI on a desktop lol.

Running this from my tty doesn't work, this is what it returns
[jonah@arch] ~ ¥ gamescope-session-plus steam
/usr/bin/gamescope-session-plus: 3: declare: not found
Failed to start gamescope-session-plus@.service: Unit name gamescope-session-plus@.service is missing the instance name.
See user logs and 'systemctl --user status gamescope-session-plus@.service' for details.

Deleting the content but leaving this up to say that in my case the solution to launching the session doing nothing was swapping to gamescope-git.

It is likely an issue with gamescope. Try downgrading to older versions of the gamescope package.

I just tried and have the same problem with @wustdsh. I don't use a desktop manager and I'm trying to run it from tty. Steam is installed and working.
I'm following this info:
I don't care about the hdr option which I've removed from config file.

@wustdsh do you have steam installed?
Two entries are expected in some display managers, this is a workaround for backwards compatibility.
