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

MangoHud is very configurable. It can be configured using the configuration file in $HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf. A default configuration file with helpful comments can be found in /usr/share/doc/mangohud.

March 23, 2023 - In order to configure MangoHud on another computer, you will just need to put the content of one of the presets in the file ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf so that MangoHud finds the configuration.
