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.

#NotFullyLiveVoidPosting

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.
