MangoHud

Purpose: MangoHud is a Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures, CPU/GPU load and more.
Graphics APIs: The overlay supports Vulkan and OpenGL applications.
Installation: Users can build MangoHud from source with Meson and Ninja or install pre-packaged binaries.
Distributions: The README documents packages for Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Solus and openSUSE, plus Flatpak installation.
Steam integration: Steam games can enable MangoHud with the launch option `mangohud %command%`.
Lutris integration: Lutris games can enable MangoHud by adding `mangohud` as the command prefix.
Gamescope integration: Gamescope requires the companion mangoapp and the command `gamescope --mangoapp -- %command%`; normal MangoHud with gamescope is unsupported.
Configuration: Configuration can be set globally, per application, through environment variables, or with presets.
Metrics: Configurable metrics include FPS, frame timing, CPU/GPU load, temperatures, clocks, fan speed, power, memory and network throughput.
FPS limiting: The `fps_limit` option limits application framerate and supports multiple comma-separated FPS values.
Benchmark logging: MangoHud logs frame data to files and includes the local `mangoplot` script for visual comparison of benchmark logs.
Online visualization: Logs can be batch uploaded to FlightlessMango.com, which generates frametime graphs and summaries; uploaded benchmarks are public.
License: The GitHub repository identifies MangoHud as MIT licensed.
Support: The project links to a Discord invite and directs users to its GitHub issue tracker for project support.
