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.

Ubuntu 22.04 and GOverlay not running
Currently, the best workaround seems to be installing an older version. You can find version 0.6.1 here, (PPA linked by the GitHub page of GOverlay). Download the deb file for Impish, and install from file with apt.

Are games on Linux less sharp?
If you don't like configuring it from config files, there is a great GUI for configuring vkBasalt and Mangohud called GOverlay, available here. Sharpening is under the vkBasalt section's CAS tab.

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.

How do i install mango hud on pop!_os?
I want to install Mango hud so I can use it for steam and lutris but when i go to https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud the so many ways of installing it I don’t know which one to choose for pop!_os. I did try a couple but it didn’t seem like it worked because when I put the launch command in one of my Steam games which was cyberpunk I didn’t see it pop up in game and when I tried to add the command to Lutris the option for the FPS counter was still grayed out. Can someone help me step-by-step on how to install mango hud on pop!_os? Thanks.

Can you try this build instead: https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/files/11832956/MangoHud-978c0fd_sniper-0.20230509.49493.tar.gz

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?
