Description

Improves game presentation with a dedicated compositor for scaling, fullscreen control, and SteamOS-style sessions. It is useful when games need a controlled display layer for resolution changes, frame pacing, or nested sessions.

This is a technical gaming and desktop component, usually launched by scripts, Steam, or session tooling rather than opened as a normal app. Display settings can affect input, fullscreen behavior, and performance.
