I am using Fedora release 35 and when I try to run Kazam I am getting the following:
$ kazam --debug
/usr/local/bin/kazam:32: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '4.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

Thank you @niknah
I did what it was commented in the Gentoo forum, changing line 32 in /usr/local/bin/kazam from
from gi.repository import Gtk
to
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
it actually solved the PyGIWarning problem, but I am still getting "WARNING Kazam - Failed to correctly detect operating system."

That's a warning the error is
ValueError: Invalid section name: 'DEFAULT'
Remove the ~/.config/kazam/kazam.conf
Or try my fork https://github.com/niknah/kazam

Thank you @niknah
Removing the file did not work, but your fork is working! ;)
One detail... the
pip3 install Xlib Pycairo PyGObject
is returning an error, my solution was installing the fedora packages manually:
sudo dnf install python3-xlib pygobject2-devel pygobject2 cairo-devel pkg-config python3-devel
afterwards I was able to start the app via
bash bin/run_local_dev.sh
;)
