How do I configure xdg-desktop-portal so that it works and keeps working?
It comes with a systemd service file https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr.service.in that you can use

How do you guys screenshare Sway on Discord?
Are you running the Wayland envvar for Firefox, MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1? Because the rest of your setup sounds very similar to my (working) setup. You could also run the Python test script included with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (bottom of this page) as a sanity check that nothing's going wrong there

Tearing updates got merged into Wayland! Now we only have to wait for implementations in KWin and Gnome!
I believe that a lot of the current approach to fixing it is something similar to xdg-desktop-portal. That's for signaling for screenshots, but a similar idea could work for listening for key events without being focused, apparently. It bypasses the standard Wayland system completely and uses D-Bus and Pipewire instead. I'm not too familiar with the details myself, though.

PSA: Steam Link (Remote Play) works on Wayland with AMD GPU
I don't know which of the xdg-desktop-portal backends you would need for gamescope, but xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has a config file which it reads where you can set the preferred output and set the chooser_type to none. That makes it skip the screen selector for me.

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
