📄 Description

Summary

Resolves the Steam startup script's hardcoded /usr/games/gamescope path when running against the Fedora variant work in #305.

What Changed

  • resolve gamescope with command -v inside apps/steam/build/scripts/startup.sh
  • use the resolved binary instead of assuming the Debian-specific /usr/games/gamescope path

Why

Fedora typically installs gamescope under /usr/bin/gamescope, so the hardcoded /usr/games/gamescope path breaks Steam startup on the Fedora image variant from #305.

Validation

  • bash -n images/base-app/build/scripts/init-gamescope.sh
  • bash -n images/base-app/build/scripts/launch-comp.sh
  • bash -n apps/steam/build/scripts/startup.sh
