I'm using "mangohud %command%" in steam launch options, but games just won't launch. I click play in steam and it tries to launch the game but then the green play icon comes back. Works perfectly in lutris. I've looked up guides but haven't found one that helps.

Steam has it's own copy of mangohud in the launch env, that messes with locally installed version, you have to uninstall the local version for it to work in steam last I checked

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
