does the desktop version have the gamescope resolution settings like steam does with SteamOS??
maybe this is a really stupid question, i'm not really a linux person (yet). i'm using an intel igpu and just looking for a way to have the gamescope window thing work neatly with the resolution setting on the game like how it does on steamos. i don't really wanna install it just to find out the main feature i want doesn't work/exist (yes i know you can set it through the launch options on the game on any linux distro but thats annoying)

you can use the
gamescope command, you cant integrate it as neatly because so you will have to add it as a launch argument for each game you want to run in gamescope
as an example here is my nightmarish one for warframe
SteamDeck=0 XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=no gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 2560 -H 1440 -e -- %command%
this disables SteamDeck integration (since im on the deck image, warframe will always try to force console controls without functional keyboard and mouse, turning off the integration is neccessary
it also sets the keyboard layout to norwegian (gamescope defaults to en_US layout)
it also sets gamescope into fullscreen with -f
input and output resolution is 2560x1440
and enables steam integration with -e since its a steam game
for most games this is all you need gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- mangohud %command%
this is gamescope, upscale from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, fullscreen, enable steam integration, run mangohud and the game.
if you want to look more at the options you can just type gamescope --help in the terminal
