General gaming stuff on Linux

GE-Proton for that "Just works" experience

To make sure all games always work on first try:

  • Use ProtonPlus or Proton-Qt to get more proton versions
  • Get the Proton-GE Latest version. Yes, that is what it's called.
  • Restart Steam
  • Go to Steam settings
  • Change Compatibility option to this new version
  • Restart Steam again, and you're set for “life”

Mangohud

  • GOverlay for config on Pika or Nobara
  • Mango Juice for Bazzite

However, Mango Juice has no switch for no label on time and I like the time. So that needs a manual config in that case.

Config file

Config file is placed in ~/.config/MangoHud/

No label on Time: time_no_label

Add to single game (Steam)

Add to properties: mangohud %command%

Add to all Steam games

  • Find the .desktop file
    • Hopefully just right click the Launcher icon
    • Autostart is here: ~/.config/autostart/Steam.desktop, maybe right clickable?
  • Add env MANGOHUD=1 before the rest of the command

It should look something like this on the auto start .desktop:

env MANGOHUD=1 -silent %U
