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.

So I installed Tumbleweed to try out linux gaming again. I need some suggestions on how to improve my Linux gaming.
there is vkbasalt for image sharpening. i don't know if it'll provide the image you want, but you can configure it and see if it fits your needs.

Color Correct ReShade v1.0
There is a alternative for Linux called vkBasalt. I haven't used it myself, yet, so I don't know how well it works. Your distro may have a package for it.
- Valve, not every game, and especially older games, can enable anti-aliasing. Just give us this checkbox, the one every GPU driver in Windows already has but the Steam Deck doesn't. I'll settle for a launch argument I can add. Come on. My Need For Speed III is so chunky and aliased. :(

Sunshine on steam deck with moonlight on Vita!
In the meantime, you can Generate a LUT yourself and apply it to games using ReShade or vkBasalt, but it doesn't apply to the system as a whole, takes a bit of work to use with each game, and there are certain games that won't work with it at all (rendering OpenGL games through Zink might help, but there are still gaps in its coverage afaik). All that effort is not for the faint of heart, lol.

You can use vkBasalt (without root) to apply sharpening, FXAA, SMAA, LUTs or even ReShade Fx shaders without having to install ReShade for each game. It will work automatically with every game using Vulkan, DXVK and VKD3D, even when using gamescope.
The solution: vkBasalt

Wayland Saturation?
In the ticket there is also someone suggesting vkBasalt as a replacement.

Final Fantasy 13 anyway to have the FF13Fix and ReShade enabled at same time?
The easiest way to do this on linux is to use vkbasalt with goverlay.
