Few solutions - Gamescope - use the argumnent --force-grab-cursor with gamescope to lock the cursor to the window - Via wine/protoncfg - there is an option "Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows" in the input tab - terminal command "cage -- gamenamehere"

Deck image or desktop image? I imagine desktop image and with steam game? If desktop image and steam game The easiest is to edit the game's launch options and write "gamescope --force-grab-cursor -- %command%"

when no resolution is specified, gamescope defaults the resolution to 720p If you have a 1920x1080p screen, you would want gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -f --force-grab-cursor -- %command%
