Hello, I've been trying to use Linux as my daily driver and I'm using Fedora 36 with NVIDIA driver properly set on Wayland.

I've set up dual-boot just in case if my job requires me to use Windows or Proton doesn't work so I'm storing my Windows games on a exFAT partition.

However launching game with Steam Play always fails with this error and I have no clue. Could anyone help me out?
