libstrangle VS radeon-profile

Mangohud (GOverlay), libstrangle, gamescope. Pick your poison.

libstrangle got broken too and it's fully open source.

As written, your suggestion is unhelpful. The name of the project that provides the strangle command is libstrangle. Without that full name (or better yet, a link) it would be darn near impossible to find.

If you're comfortable with terminal use you could also try https://gitlab.com/torkel104/libstrangle

Libstrangle. The options for it, at least for vsync, seem extremely similar to Mangohud's settings in GOverlay, so this may be doing the exact same thing.

https://github.com/milaq/libstrangle with this you can limit the gpu to run an easy 45 fps. The monitors Hertz rate you can set in Linux, depending on what the screen will be capable of.

I purchased a used MSI r9 360 at a swap meet several days ago, and upon chucking it into my rig it worked well, however the fans did not spin by default. I was able to get it onto Radeon drivers (I think) but it doesn't show up on mangohud or psensor, and the only way to get the fans to actually spin is via this GitHub project which does work fine but booting up a program and having to run it in the background isn't ideal. Any advice on what I can do to try and get it to work more seamlessly?

I used " radeon profile " when I first switched from windows to Linux, it's less fancy than adrenalyn, but it has some OC capabilities and such, if you wanna check it out

And perhaps worth a mention that there is another app called Radeon Profile avilable at https://github.com/marazmista/radeon-profile similar to Corectrl, but it hasn't been maintained for the past 2 years.

First of all follow everything on this guide. If your GPU fans don't work install Radeon Profile (yay -S radeon-profile-git). If you have a multi-monitor setup and one of them doesn't work you can try checking in Radeon Profile if the monitors are detected, like this. If it is connected but not active and you can't get it to active, you can try changing the mkinitcpi.conf file and putting MODULES=(amdgpu radeon) instead of the default MODULES="". After that you run sudo mkinitcpio -P and reboot. If your mouse cursor is invisible in Xorg you can try following this. Now enjoy your brand new GPU.

My recommendation is that you try out radeon-profile and CAREFULLY read how you set it up and it's daemon.

Things should 'just work'. If you want more details on the hardware perf you can try this stuff: Corectrl or Radeon-profile and Manghud
