Tips or advice and guides for using mangohud or goverlay
I need to do this to see which version of wine-ge, proton-ge and launcher (steam, lutris or heroic) works better and with better fps for X game. Is it better to use mangohud without GUI or goverlay with GUI? (I ask this because I have seen that there are programs that work better without GUI). More on forum.endeavouros.com

r/linux_gaming on Reddit: Anyone use MangoHud and know how to configure it?
December 2, 2023 -

Hi all, Linux newb here. I'm trying to use MangoHud to monitor my FPS. If you're not familiar, it's just an overlay like Fraps. I've been using it for a while now, and I have Mangohud working fine. I just need to be able to configure it. I want to show the RAM usage as well as the VRAM usage.

The only problem is, for some goofy reason they only supplied an example of the config file. It says "MangoHud.conf.example".

Apparently, they didn't actually create a real config file and put it in place. The location of the example file is /usr/share/doc/Mangohud.

I looked all around for the real one, and I can't find it anywhere. I found a video that says it's supposed to be in a folder located in /home/.config/mangohud. But I have no such folder. Do I simply create one there and move the example config file there? Then rename it and have the file magically start working?

Thank you

r/linux_gaming on Reddit: How To Install And Use MangoHUD With Game Launched From Steam And Lutris
May 1, 2020 -

Hi everyone.

Since MangoHUD appears to be all the range at the moment.

https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud

I thought I would create a short video on how to install it and use it with games launched through Steam and Lutris.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97p2Ja5D1go&t=1s

As usual for people who prefer a written tutorial, see below:

INSTALLATION

Terminal commands:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flightlessmango/Ma...

cd MangoHud

./build.sh build

./build.sh package

./build.sh install

USING MANGOHUD WITH STEAM

Right click on a game, choose Properties, click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS and type in:

MANGOHUD=1 %command%

USING MANGOHUD WITH LUTRIS

Right click on the game, click Configure, navigate to System preferences / System options / Environmental variables and use the following:

Key – MANGOHUD

Value – 1

Click Save.

CUSTOMISING MANGOHUD

Either use parameters listed on the github page or alternatively with a GUI tool called Goverlay.

https://github.com/benjamimgois/goverlay

As always if you found that video helpful, please consider subscribing to support me.

Thanks
