I foresee thee configuring thy performance overlay for perfectly flat frametimes, yet thou shalt spend more hours tweaking its text to the exact shade of pink and purple than actually playing the game.

Did you know that when editing your MangoHud.conf, you don't actually need to load up a heavy game just to preview your changes?
You can view your overlay in a lightweight popup window instantly. Just run this in your terminal:
RADV_PERFTEST=gpl MANGOHUD=1 vkcube
#LinuxGaming #MangoHud #FOSS #LinuxTips #Linux #TerminalTIlt
It was all for this…
I installed `gamescope`, `MangoHud` (case sensitive) and `MangoHud-mangoapp` (you need that one), as well as their 32-bit counterparts, just in case.
Then I ran the script from https://github.com/shahnawazshahin/steam-using-gamescope-guide Then I panicked because, while it was doing its thing with #gamescope, the screen went completely blank. But it works now and I have my own #SteamMachine already. SDDM logs in automatically, I can switch to the desktop and #MangoHud works.
I figured out how to configure #MangoHud but getting it to run for all games was difficult so I resorted to using #Goverlay, which was conveniently already installed. Now I can easily toggle performance metrics on and off whenever I want!
Only problem remaining is it doesn’t show my CPU power draw, which I never really cared about in the past, but in the last few days I’ve been thinking about energy consumption while gaming. I’ll elaborate on that in a separate post.
