[edit]- Gamemode config
- Mangohud config
- Steamtinkerlaunch config
- CSGO windowed fullscreen minimizing on alt-tab
SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command%
R&D
[edit]Use some time on normal install to
- Test steamtinkerlaunch https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch from AUR
- Check out mangohud https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud from AUR
- Grab gamemode stuff and steamtinkerlaunch for wiki
- Try kwin-lowlatency or disabling Compositor in System Settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor, check Enable compositor on startup and restart Plasma
- Try different DEs (lxde, gnome, xfce)
- Refine packages for wiki
- Make determinations about next kernel
- May need to consider package limitations for some (chaotic AUR and AUR don't seem to mix and might need separate installs)
- Make determinations about CPU / GPU testing for kernel
- Make install script for testing setups
