How do you enter steam gaming mode from the desktop image?

I've looked everywhere. If the answer to this is in the docs, it's very well hidden.
Solution:
You do not have gamemode on your image

You could use Steam Big Picture Mode. Right click on steam and than select Big Picture Mode, it hink there is a option somewhere in steam to start right into Big Picture Mode

That does not provide HDR Correct You need to wait for a gnome release that has HDR support or use a gamemode image
