I play on Linux (Debian 12) the steam version. I tried to use the wayland protocol. Nearly everything works except the F12 key to make a screenshot. This just works on X11.

Attached both logs. One where wayland was enabled and pressed F12 to create a screenshot during startup. The second one with X11 enabled and pressen F12 to create a screenshot on startup.

This is likely due to the absence of the steam overlay, which simply does not work on Wayland. I will investigate to see if there is a fix on steam's side.

Steam overlay and other integration features is an open issue on Valve's end.

If you really need the overlay and screenshot functionality, then you must use Xwayland for now.
