Bazzite Desktop and Proton GE

Hi, I saw that Bazzite uses Gamescope and I was wondering if on a Desktop Image, there would be conflict/moving/deleting of files if I use Proton GE 9-3 with Desktop/Gamemode and switch back and forth? I saw in the recent Proton GE there is this command

if you are on a non

-steamdeck

if you are on a

-steamdeck
-steamdeck

unless you run
steam
steam
directly in the terminal

the steam shortcut and autostart is linked to a custom script that applies
-steamdeck
-steamdeck
if you are on the appropriate image
idk about it auto applying it when going into big picture mode since that would be
-gamepadui
-gamepadui
or
-bigpicture
-bigpicture
