 +====== Limiting FPS with MangoHUD in Steam ======
 +
 +Part of [[engineering:computer_science:linux:linux|Linux]]
 +
 +If you playing on Linux you might have the issue where you don't want to use VSync - mainly when running a <del>weird</del> special setup with multiple monitors, with rotations and different refresh rates - but at the same time you don't want your PC to be running that card game at 900 FPS and using Energy / putting Heat out like there is no tomorrow.
 +
 +If the game is running on VULKAN - or via the Proton compatibilty layer - you can limit the FPS by using [[engineering:computer_science:linux:gaming:limit_fps_with_vulkan_in_steam|Vulkan FPS Limiter]].
 +
 +If that doesn't work / isn't possible, you can use MangoHUD:
 +
 +  * Using your Terminal (eg for Debian based Distros), install mangohud
 +  *
 +<code>
 +
 +sudo apt install mangohud
 +
 +</code>
 +  * Then on your Steam game, Rigth Click > Properties and under the command to start the game write:
 +  *
 +
 +<code>MANGOHUD_CONFIG=no_display,fps_limit=90 mangohud %command%
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +This will limit the FPS to 90 and NOT display the MangoHUD Overlay on the game.
