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.

Multiple monitors genshin impact?
Maybe gamesope can help? Games are nested into it to allow for better control.

X11 or Wayland?
Well I suppose you should start taking Wayland seriously then, because gamescope, the compositor on the Steam Deck, uses Wayland. https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/blob/master/src/wlserver.cpp

Tearing updates protocol (!65) · Merged
Mini-update: I spoke with Josh (and Strudel, who referenced me to the PR), and this has been already merged into gamescope.

A year later, what's your take? Happy? Disappointed?
Valve staff is also aware they cannot force developers to retrofit 16:10 support into existing games (some do, many don't), so they even go the extra mile to provide extra functionality in gamescope to improve the 16:10 gaming experience for games that only support 16:9 natively.

What is the difference between gamescope and ChimeraOS's gamescope-session?
I'm trying out gamescope on my laptop, and I came across ChimeraOS's fork of it. I'm not sure why I would choose one over the other. ChimeraOS mentions something about "session switch", but I'm not sure what that's about.

Something like gamescope but for the desktop
You can use gamescope on the desktop, I use it for a ton of games like No Man's Sky, Bethesda games, and any others that have alt tab instability.

Van Gogh, AMD’s Steam Deck APU
For those that don't know (like me, three minutes ago) gamescope [1] is a Wayland compositor custom-written for games (and, I believe, what the Steam Deck uses). it's open source, and under the "BSD 2-clause" license.

Modern BPM Steam with Ubuntu 20.04?
I assume that this is because I'm still using ye olde steamos-compositor (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamos-compositor/.) I'm interested in switching to gamescope (https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope) but I'm getting the feeling it won't work on my 20.04 vintage Ubuntu; the required version of meson isn't available and I can't find a PPA that contains gamescope. My instinct act this point is to just live with the pain, as fully dealing with this will likely involve just switching all the way to Arch to more closely match the newest SteamOS and I just don't want to do that right now. Anyone know if there is a middleground that will support a modern steam big picture mode without having to totally redo everything?
