MangoHud, a new open source Vulkan overlay layer for gaming on Linux

Quoting: egeeHave people actually used this or are people talking about how cool it is and then moving on?

It doesn't seem to work for me at all. I'm reluctant to open an issue on the GitHub repo because I'm curious if other people are having issues with it first.

The install instructions on the readme don't work and installing it via the release file doesn't appear to do anything.

Can folks confirm that it is working and maybe provide some screenshots?
The article screenshot is literally me using it. Download, extract, cd into the folder, install, done. Then add it as a launch option for a Vulkan game or DXVK. Works great for me.

Quoting: kaimanA bit disappointed that Pillars of Eternity II didn't even make the top 5 of Best 2019 update. That's when Obsidian officially added turn based mode, which basically changed it into a completely different game; and a much better one at that, IMO.
Probably a mix of things, but mostly the game as a whole did not sell well and people largely forgot about it.

Quoting: fleskI hope they fix the Steam Labs experiments to respect your platform settings soon. Last I tried, only Lars Doucet's did, making the rest pretty much useless.
As I understand, it needs a conscious effort from each tool developer to respect the settings.

Collabora's FOSDEM videos are up, including one on putting Linux games in Containers on Steam

Quoting: GuestI'm not the most clued up person with container tech, and flatpaks, etc, but:

Really glad Valve is continuing to research ways of keeping games running, and giving some kind of interface stability. Just would prefer if there was something a little more generic for GNU/Linux desktop, so that games outside of Steam's environment could benefit.
Games -> Add non-Steam game to my library
== reliance on 3rd party proprietary software. That's not an answer to the problem at all.
Well, the steam-runtime is already open source and they're using bubblewrap which is also open source.

Ah yes: Developers try to make things easier to deploy across all distributions.

You: I give up.

Makes sense.
