In this video I cover how to install, configure and use MangoHud on Linux. https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#mangohud MangoHud is an overlay that allows you to display metrics such as frame rate, CPU, GPU and RAM consumption, hardware and temperatures similar to MSI Afterburner on Windows. In addition, MangoHud will also allow you to enable V-Sync or a frame rate limit either globally or on a per game basis. Step 1. Installing MangoHud. https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#installation---pre-packaged-binaries When it comes to installing MangoHud, I would recommend using the MangoHud installation script. The reason for this is because it will not only install the latest version of MangoHud, but also install any missing dependencies that are required for MangoHud to work. To do this, click on the Releases tab, download latest version, and extract the downloaded archive. Inside of the extracted archive, there will be a sub folder called MangoHud which will contain two files; MangoHUD-package.tar and mangohud-setup.sh. Inside this directory, open a Terminal window and run the following command: ./mangohud-setup.sh install Once the process is completed, MangoHud will be installed on your system. Step 2. Configuring MangoHud. https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#hud-configuration The metrics that MangoHud displays are read from the MangoHud config file. There is an example file located at: /usr/share/doc/mangohud First take a copy of that file, navigate back to your home directory and enable Hidden Files and Folders. You will now see a folder called .config, and inside this directory, there will be a sub folder called MangoHud, paste the copied example MangoHud config file into here. Finally, change the name of the example file to MangoHud.conf and double click to open it using a text editor. Inside the file, there is an extensive list of parameters but each line should tell you exactly what it does, although by default, only a few things will be enabled. To enable a parameter, remove the hash symbol that proceeds the line, and then save the file to apply the settings. Step 3. Using MangoHud. https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#normal-usage To use MangoHud with Steam games, simply right click on the Properties of an installed game, and under the Launch Options section, type the following: mangohud %command% Close the window once done. Alternatively, for games launched outside of Steam, such as ones installed using Lutris. Open Lutris, right click on the game or launcher, select Configure, and then navigate to the System options tab and make sure that the FPS counter (MangoHud) is toggled on. Click Save to confirm changes. #linuxgaming #mangohud #proton
