Build & install gamescope for fresh-install Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat)

Due to what appears to be dependency issues, the gamescope package isn't avalible for Ubuntu 24.04. So here's a guide on how to build and install gamescope for Ubuntu 24.04

1. Pull latest git of gamescope

$ git clone https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope.git

2. Install needed dependencies to build gamescope

$ sudo apt install libbenchmark1.8.3 libdisplay-info1 libevdev-dev libgav1-1 libgudev-1.0-dev libmtdev-dev libseat1 libstb0 libwacom-dev libxcb-ewmh2 libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxmu-headers libyuv0 libx11-xcb-dev libxres-dev libxmu-dev libseat-dev libinput-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libxcb-ewmh-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-res0-dev libcap-dev wayland-protocols libvulkan-dev libwayland-dev libx11-dev cmake pkg-config meson libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libxcursor-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxtst-dev libxkbcommon-dev libdrm-dev libpixman-1-dev libdecor-0-dev glslang-tools libbenchmark-dev libsdl2-dev libglm-dev libeis-dev libavif-dev

3. Build gamescope with meson first

$ meson build/

4. Buid gamescope with ninja

$ ninja -C build/

5. If the ninja build didn't produce any errors, install it to your system.

$ meson install -C build/ --skip-subprojects

new install of Ubuntu 24.04, when I try to test gamescope I get this:

`$ gamescope -- vkcube

Any input?
