Comment:
There seems to be still some ties to systemd(?, or something else), `gamemoderun ./game` does not work oob, just spams dbus launch. Need to look closer into it, but Games that set gamemode themself or the example client do work correctly already.

Comment:
Any updates on this?

From the 1.6 changelog: "Add option to use elogind"
Guess that allows this to work fine now without systemd? Would love to see this available to install

Comment:
There are two files that need to be copied into specific places after install:

```
sudo cp $PREFIX/share/dbus-1/services/com.feralinteractive.GameMode.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
sudo cp $PREFIX/share/polkit-1/actions/com.feralinteractive.GameMode.policy /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/
```

You probably need to restart dbus/polit; I just rebooted. But after that, I was able to successfully use `gamemoderun`. I think the daemon requires systemd, even when you select elogind.
