Bazzite GNOME incompatibility with Discover Overlay

Hello, I'm getting conflicting results on whether bazzite-gnome supports Discover Overlay. I'm aware that GNOME Wayland doesn't support the overlay, but there was When I attempt to run it via command line I'm getting this message:

INFO - discover_overlay.discover_overlay - Starting Discover Overlay: 0.7.2

** (discover-overlay:308266): WARNING **: 14:34:32.736: It appears your Wayland compositor does not support the Layer Shell protocol
INFO - discover_overlay.overlay - GTK Layer Shell is not supported on this wayland compositor
INFO - discover_overlay.overlay - Currently not possible: Gnome, Weston

This is already with the following environment variables set on /etc/default/discover-overlay:

AUTO_LAUNCH_DISCOVER_OVERLAY=1
LAUNCH_DISCOVER_ON_GNOME_WAYLAND=0

AUTO_LAUNCH_DISCOVER_OVERLAY=1
LAUNCH_DISCOVER_ON_GNOME_WAYLAND=0

Is there some other setting that I'm missing? Or is it just flat incompatible at the moment?

Solution:

discover overlay is unsupported on GNOME wayland since it require gtk layer shell which doesn't work ironically on GNOME
