Screen resolution in games higher than the monitor resolution

Helping a friend who is using KDE Desktop with Nvidia card. They started out with a deck image and rebased to desktop, the issue was the same on both images. They have a 1440p main screen and a 4K secondary screen in portrait. The default display is set correctly in desktop settings, the 4K screen has some slight scaling applied. When they launch certain games (through steam), they open on the correct 1440p screen, and window options appear greyed out (Marvel Rivals, Days Gone, others), the window type will be borderless window, and the resolution will be set to 4k (despite the monitor being 1440p. It is greyed out with no way to change. Any advice?

ujust get-framegen?

I was browsing ujust commands and hadn't noticed get-framegen before..What exactly is installed and how is it applied? I am using a desktop Nvidia image, so I was curious if this was a deck image specific option?

Issues mounting SMB share via systemd mount. Contains a symlink?

Not sure if immutable specific, user error or lack of knowledge.. I have not yet created the automount, as I am trying first verify systemd mounts. When I test cifs, mounts and is writable as expected, so smbcred and addresses are being loaded correctly -

sudo mount -t cifs //192.xxx.xx.xxx/media /home/xxxx/xxxx/media -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/xxxx/.sambacreds

sudo mount -t cifs //192.xxx.xx.xxx/media /home/xxxx/xxxx/media -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/xxxx/.sambacreds

I have the following in sytstemd/system/home-xxxx-xxxx-media.mount

Description=Mount SMB share
# We require network connection before proceeding.
Requires=network-online.target
After=network-online.target systemd-resolved.service
Wants=network-online.target systemd-resolved.service

[Mount]
# "What" is what will be mounted. ie our NAS SMB share
# PUT YOUR SMB IP ADDRESS! (the // is important, don't change it)
What=//192.xxx.xx.xxx/media
# "Where" is where it will be mounted in the filesystem
Where=/home/xxxx/xxxx/media/
Type=cifs
# Let the mounted filesystem be read/write-able
# Let the mounted filesystem be owned by the 'deck' user/group
# Use the specified credential file for the connection
Options=rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,nofail,credentials=/home/xxxx/.sambacreds
# Lets quit trying after 30 seconds
TimeoutSec=30

Unable to open Firefox root directory to import a profile.

When using about:profile in firefox, the 'root' profile location I am trying to copy to is - /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/profilename.default-release. I believe this is due to the immutable file system, I am new to linux, but cannot get my head around this and attempts to import the profile into the /home/username/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/cache/mozilla/firefox/profile name.default-release, have so far failed.
