Can I install gamescope-session on Bazzite desktop?

Hi, sorry if this question was already answered before but I can't find any documentation anywhere.

So, I installed bazzite on my friend's PC with a plasma session and he's enjoing it.
I have a fedora install with gnome but since I have an HDR monitor, I installed gamescope-session-steam from the terra repos and I can select it from sdm without any problems.
My friend now asked me if it's possible to do the same on his bazzite install, because he wants a distraction-free gaming experience, like a console and wants to skip the desktop entirely but with the option at login.
I cloudn't find any info on the matter so I added the terra repo and installed gamescope-session-steam with rpm-ostree. Obviously it doesn't boot because I realized the home folder in fedora atomic is in another directory.

Is there a way to boot a gamescope-session from the login screen on bazzite?
Solution
yep and if you dont want that then you need to currently make a custom image where you remove the autologin file (steamos.conf) from
/etc/sddm.conf.d
/etc/sddm.conf.d
as if you remove it on an installed system it will go
"hmm but this file is on the image, i will restore it" since you deleted it.
