+1 I've got this issue too on the same OS. Reinstalling does not help.

I'm on latest Pop OS here. Try to properly install gamemode following the instructions on this page, then reboot the system. After that, try the self-test and see if it works.

Tried what @jhpgcj suggested in https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/issues/376#issuecomment-1455185288. Still doesn't work for me.

+1 Same issue here. Same everything.

[RaptorJesus82]

+1, same issue, same distro.

[Tomobar313]

[ararunaufc]

+1, same version, but I'm in ArchLinux (last updated today, 2023-06-30).

It's strange we got no comment from the devs since Aug'22...
