Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1971

hello not sure if this counts as a bug or as support but eh

basically i want to use the self hosted amnezia vpn while in the steam gamescope session on my steam deck (running cachy os (arch based) not steam os) but the gui app is unable to communicate to the system d service when launched from steam,

and there is no cli option for me to launch in a separate tty session and i don't want to deal with he over head of running a whole separate de and finding a way to automate all that

this is also quite important to me because i am unable to accesses steam servers with out my self hosted vpn and all the other protocols ameniza offers are all blocked by dpi on my network (including everything offered by amneiza premium)

cachy os is the client debian is the server
