  • SGDBoop

    A program used for applying custom artwork to Steam, using SteamGridDB. Supports both Windows and Linux, written completely in C.

    • I want this script to run automatically when I switch to desktop mode. I have tried setting up Autostart in System Settings with Konsole and the command (from SGDBoop troubleshooting), starting the script directly from the same System Settings screen, and doing steps 3 and 4.2.2 from the TigerVNC Arch Wiki page. I haven't been successful so far.

    • Ah right, looks like the VNC server you're using is xorg only. You can try WayVNC for gaming mode https://github.com/any1/wayvnc .

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
