From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I thought its an entire different desktop. Especially itd not possible to run gamescope while a X11 Desktop is running so I guess you are wrong with "bypassing". Its just switching to gamescope. Its a Wayland compositor. It does even less than a Window Manager (is this right?)
Bypass is maybe a poor choice of words. Both gamescope and Kwin are compositors so you can use one or the other.
An advantage of making gamescope is that they can add features like VRR or HDR without having to wayiting for KWin to implement it
I assume as this is a Gaming mode, its purpose is not to avoid waiting for features. But close the entire desktop which may use up to 1GB RAM and a by of CPU. Which definetly impacts the game by some fraction. Doesnt matter how tiny, its just what gaming modes are having as focus I assume.
The next thing I would never see on a desktop is FSR which gamescope has.
I run GameScope for CS2. The rest of the desktop runs Wayland.
Yeah, this setting is possible as your underlying desktop uses Wayland
Yup. Gamescope doesn't work without Wayland.
