Tdistrobox installed goverlay affect steam on the host?
Tlike
Tit writes to
~/.config/MangoHudToh lets go!
Ti think ill add it to the portal and have it install inside of a container
Twhich is also accessible by flatpaks if you give perms to
xdg-config/MangoHud:roToh well that would be a downside for heroic/bottles users tho
Tnot too bad of a fix tho
Tand i guess already exists whether or not it's on the system or in a container
Tcould add it to the bazzite list of perms that get applied
Ttrue. i think ill redo that especially if goverlay only affects desktop users for the most part
Tflatpak override com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl --filesystem=xdg-config/Mangohud:ro for exampleTwith a note that says that you still need to install the mangohud flatpak if you want to use it there
Korg.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud//23.08Kthat we do
Kthis we will do next build
CAre you on KDE?
Tyeah global is fine because it's
:roTI actually do global for myself along with the gtk folders
KI am yep
Crn on windows so can't show, but you can add like extra page in kde system monitor
Cand then you can add stuff as a widget
CI have like this overview sitting on my desktop
Tis that Rainmeter?
Twait nm, that's not Windows
Cand if i am not mistaken, there should be inbuilt widgets you can either alter or just use the inbuilt ones
Cmy windows setup is basic af, lmao
Conly use it for val
T
this looks so much better
Twell i mean it's a little wonky (like theme and stuff) because im running this thru an arch container i just made and im sure there's some issues, but it seems a lot more user friendly
Tgoverlay is actually one reason why I haven't bothered transitioning to nix packages
Tthe version on nix is 0.7.1
Twhich if I were to start using nix, I would want to abandon the distroboxes, but if I have to keep one for goverlay, then why bother haha
Tdo you think goverlay should be packaged at a system-level or should I attempt to move it to an arch container later?
Tand have it as an optional bazzite portal / ujust command
Tan arch container is sufficient here. I think I solved the appearance issue once, but I forgot hot
Tnot everyone would care to use it, and anyone who wants it can get it
Ttrue yeah i might try to see how that runs later and try things
Tbut I guess the real answer depends on how much extra space it takes
TAdds ~20 MB
Tto the image
Tbut has some dependencies and stuff that might be considered better left in a container
Tone of the drawbacks of the container method is now you have to install mangohud in the container, which has its own space cost although minimal
Tbecause mangohud is a dependency
Ti wonder if vkbasalt works too
Tunless that's not part of goverlay anymore
TI've never used it
Tit was in 0.9.x, but I don't even know what vkbasalt is used for
Kit's reshade
