Steam os is pretty old now, compared to the Wayland readiness timeline, and proton doesn't fully support Wayland yet

    Ah, but the really funny thing is how Gaming Mode works.

    They start the gamescope wayland compositor which launches an XWayland session to run the Steam client in. Which will start gamescope to run the game, which will use a second XWayland session to actually run the game in.

    It'll probably take at least two more years until they can get rid of X.
