Make gamescope's "Switch To Desktop" quit steam

[shocklateboy92]

The "Exit Steam" button disappears when running in gamescope, so this is the only way I can think of to quit properly.

Makes sense, shall we wrap that execution in a conditional based on the env variable RUN_GAMESCOPE?
I'd like to keep the ability to "switch to desktop" when running in Sway

So, steam doesn't have a "Switch To Desktop" button when running in sway:

presumably because it knows it's already running in a "desktop" and just has "Exit Steam" instead, which AFAICT does not invoke that script.

It should be the "Exit big picture mode" button, no?
I'll give it a go on my setup, I can't remember what is the menu on Gamescope from the top of my head..

I just tested it. "Exit big picture mode" does not run this script. I just kills the steam tenfoot window and opens the main window.

When running in gamescope, steam thinks it's running on the steam deck which has no window manager or session underneath, so it launches this script (or the version of it on steamos) that creates a new session with KDE plasma and puts the user into it.

I've tested this quickly, and it seems that it doesn't get triggered when running in Sway.

I guess we could probably run Sway and switch Steam to the desktop mode similar to how they do it in the Steam Deck by running KDE, but this looks good enough for now. Thanks!
