Best little-known features

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/SteamDeck

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • MangoHud

    A Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures, CPU/GPU load and more. Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/Gj5YmBb

  • I guess Mangohud, an FPS overlay for games is a good place to start.

  • lutris

    Lutris desktop client

  • Finally Lutris, it provide community made scripts to install games not supported for Steam. Probably your best friend if you need to install a game that is not available on Steam.

  • 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.

  • gamemode

    Optimise Linux system performance on demand

  • Gamemode is something to keep in mind. Feral Interactive made it so to make games run faster in Linux. However, I fully expected that any optimization that this software can do to be builtin in the Deck so it may not be very useful.

  • HeroicGamesLauncher

    A games launcher for GOG, Amazon and Epic Games for Linux, Windows and macOS.

  • Heroic Games Launcher is a Epic Store alternative, currently The Epic Store don't run on Linux so using this software is a good choice to be able to run Epic Games.
