Example: MANGOHUD_CONFIG=cpu_temp,gpu_temp,position=top-right,height=500,font_size=32 Because comma is also used as option delimiter and needs to be escaped for values with a backslash, you can use + like MANGOHUD_CONFIG=fps_limit=60+30+0 instead.

Need more information. In what way did you "download" it? https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#debian-11-bullseye If on pop OS, I'd say you can try to use the Debian method/command: sudo apt install mangohud or look for it in the pop shop. Or did you download something from the release page on GitHub? They have binaries so you don't need to compile it yourself. https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/releases Extract the.tar.gz and run ./mangohud-setup.sh install from inside the extracted directory in a terminal program. To install the binary version. It's also available as flatpak. https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#flatpak Same deal with Go Overlay, you didn't give much info. https://github.com/benjamimgois/goverlay#ubuntu Go Overlay should allow for easy global settings, without needing to tinker much. Can you not launch Go Overlay itself? Is mango HUD simply not appearing in games?but otherwise you may need to see about moving onto: https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#normal-usage
