## Using gamescope
You can use [gamescope](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope) to run X11 games and even Steam itself.
Similar to Cage, gamescope will only show a single, topmost window, so it's not very suitable to running regular apps.
But you can run Steam in gamescope and then start some game from Steam just fine.
```
gamescope -- flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
```
To run gamescope fullscreen, you can pass flags that set the necessary resolution, and a flag that starts it in fullscreen mode:
```
gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -w 2560 -h 1440 -f -- flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
```
> [!NOTE]
> If Steam terminates abnormally while running in gamescope, it seems that subsequent gamescope invocations will sometimes fail to start it properly.
> If this happens, run Steam inside a rootful Xwayland as described above, then exit it normally, and then you will be able to use gamescope again.
