About SteamTinkerLaunch

SteamTinkerLaunch sits between the Steam client and a game on Linux. It gives you a graphical way to configure game tools such as GameScope, MangoHud and modding tools, along with custom launch options, without editing command lines by hand.

It works with both Proton games and native Linux games. It suits Linux and Steam Deck players who regularly tweak individual games and want those settings kept in one place per title.

Strengths

  • GUI for GameScope, MangoHud and modding tools
  • Works with Proton and native Linux games
  • Per-game launch configuration

Limitations

  • Linux only
  • Many options can be overwhelming for simple setups
