Please help me fix it.

If you run groups, is the gamemode group listed? This will show you what groups your account is member of.

groups

@rustyload

I tried this, and it made no change: groupadd -f ‘gamemode’

This command attempts to create the group gamemode, if it doesn’t already exist. Your user account needs to be added to that group for gamemode to do its thing though.

To add yourself to the gamemode group, the command would be something like this, assuming homepc is your username:

sudo usermod -a -G gamemode homepc

Running sudo usermod -a -G gamemode homepc

Fixed it, thank you so much!!!
