Comment on Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3%
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 days agoAre those instructions current? I don’t see it on the readme on the git project, and installing it from Kubuntu’s package manager didn’t create a gamemode group (it also doesn’t come with a manual page).

You can just create the gamemode group and then add your user to it.
Use
gamemoded -t
to test that it’s configured and working correctly. Andgamemoded -s
tells if gamemode is currently active. Steam doesn’t support gamemode, so you have to addgamemoderun %command%
to every game’s launch options.ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Would that same command also work through Heroic, or do they handle that kind of thing differently? Sorry, sometimes things are so abstracted from us that we don’t have to think about what it’s doing under the hood.

Heroic Launcher should have a setting for gamemode.

Thanks, it’s worth a couple of experiments, at least.
