Getting much more stable frame times on the latest DynamicFPS++ mod, compared to running 60fps static and Chuck's dynamicFPS mod, while yuzu speed is capped at 75% (45fps). Specs: i9-10900k, RTX 2070 Super, 16gb Ram. Mods in comments.
Looks like MangoHud?

Will there be Steam Deck OSD for Desktop
I just woke up and thought about a different thing, so small correction: the SteamOS performance overlay is a separate open-source project called MangoHud.

My monitor runs at 144 Hz but games that should be at 60 FPS play too fast. How can I lock it?
There's probably a million different ways to limit FPS. I use GOverlay as a front-end for MangoHud, and limiting FPS in it is extremely simple. Simply change "FPS Limit", Save, and you're good to go. Use the selected hotkey (F1-F4) to enable/disable the limiter (and right shift + F12 to show/hide MangoHud itself)

How to increase contrast for games
Many people seem to use GOverlay as a GUI to configure it. I do it manually because when I tried GOverlay long ago it wasn't ready yet, but maybe it's good now, try it if you prefer a GUI.

Upgrade Help Thread
I was just clicking the icon in the application menu but it wouldn't launch. However I came across the issue in Github: https://github.com/benjamimgois-zz/goverlay/issues/203 , I used the .deb file as suggested and i'm able to use the program again.

FPS/performance overlay appearance
GOverlay is a GUI application that can be used to manage the config

Steam Deck vs. Switch OLED vs. Switch Regular
Would be interesting to see what the deck would look like with Reshade's fakeHDR or other options. Even the fakeHDR option makes a big difference in contrast and vibrancy. On Linux Reshade is called vkBasalt and can be configured with gOverlay. Don't know if that's available already via SteamOS.
