Fedora Workstation 41 to No Longer Install Gnome X.org Session by Default
I can't speak for Chrome nor VMWare, but Firefox and OBS have received "Wayland native" screen capturing functionality, through XDG portals and Pipewire, as far as I'm aware.
As a side-note, I've recently discovered a really cool project[0] that enables incredibly fast screen capture for OpenGL and Vulkan applications, mostly tailored to games. Tried it with a bunch of stuff and it works much better than both X's and Pipewire's screen grabbing. I can actually capture videos at my monitor's native refresh rate (144Hz).

obs-vkcapture outside of Steam?
Hello, so I use this OBS plugin obs-vkcapture. I use it as opposed to the built-in Window Capture, because with that option I would keep having to alt-tab back into OBS to select the game I want to record. This plugin is basically the "Game Capture" feature on OBS Windows brought to Linux. It makes it to where I can put a Steam launch option obs-gamecapture %command% and launching the game will make its executable show up in the Game Capture source, so I can just press record on move on, no more opening OBS to select the game's window and risk nuking it when alt-tabbing. It is much more performance efficient and it's a package/patch that is included in GloriousEggroll's Nobara distro's build of OBS as well. I however use it on Arch from the AUR, it's the only AUR package I use in fact.

Fedora 37 + Kernel 6.1 + 7900 XTX issues
Additionally, I'd like to use Game Capture in OBS if possible via obs-vkcapture. If using this with gamescope, where do I actually put the variable or obs-gamecapture command? Does it wrap the entire gamescope command, or does it get wrapped by gamescope?

What package do I need on Arch to remove fps loss when recording with OBS studio
I think you mean obs-vkcapture-git. It lets you capture a window through Vulkan. Here is also its github repo for more informations.

obs-vkcapture dependencies | Fedora 36
I have spent a few hours trying all kinds of dependencies on Fedora 36 Workstation trying to get obs-vkcapture to compile. I have found the exact ones and hopefully it helps someone in the future: cmake gcc gcc-c++ obs-studio-devel mesa-libGL-devel vulkan-loader-devel Here is a convenient command to install all at once: sudo dnf install cmake gcc gcc-c++ obs-studio-devel mesa-libGL-devel vulkan-loader-devel
What are some alternatives?
