Discover Overlay not working?
It looks like Bazzite has discover overlay installed (at least the configuration is showing up on a fresh install) but when I try to launch it via the terminal I get
discover-overlay
INFO - discover_overlay.discover_overlay - Starting Discover Overlay: 0.7.8
ERROR - discover_overlay.discover_overlay - name 'GtkLayerShell' is not defined

If I install the flatpak it works fine but I don't really want a duplicate flatpak if this is already installed by default. Any tips to correct this?

Solution
https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/2511 looks like i missed this seems to be plasma specific so fingers crossed itll get fixed in the future i guess in the mean time it works with gnome I guess?

Describe the bug It appears we are missing the GtkLayerShell requirement for the overlay to start, it still functions in Game mode & Gnome as neither require this library. ERROR - discover_over...
