It's been a while since the last release but a nice update to the performance hud and benchmarking tool MangoHud is out now. This is the tool used for the performance stats on Steam Deck.
Something I'm a big fan of, because I use it plenty on desktop Linux too, it's one of the most useful open source projects for gaming. An example of a pretty basic layout for performance:
Version 0.6.9 brings these changes:
Changes
- Added support for it8603 sensor
- Conform to VUID-VkDeviceCreateInfo-pNext-00373
- Add GalaxyClient, RedLauncher, Amazon Games and gamescope to blacklist
- Add Artix and Nobara to build.sh
Bug fixes
- Fixed a crash when using zink, and certain games using DXVK e.g. FarCry 3/4
- Fixed reporting amdgpu clock speed
- Fixed an issue with
execcausing certain games to crash- Fixed incorrect metrics for ryzen 7000 series iGPUs
- Fixed discovery of wine binary when using wine64 build
There's also the addition of additional options to further tweak the experience how you want it:
exec_name- Display current exec name.hud_compact- Display compact version of MangoHud.hud_no_margin- Remove margins around MangoHud.horizontal- Display Mangohud in a horizontal position.toggle_hud_positionToggle MangoHud postion. Default is R_Shift + F11fps_limit_methodIf FPS limiter should wait before or after presenting a frame. Chooselate(default) for the lowest latency orearlyfor the smoothest frametimes.picmipMip-map LoD bias. Negative values will increase texture sharpness (and aliasing). Positive values will increase texture blurriness (-16 to 16)afAnisotropic filtering level.

An example of a nice clean horizontal layout I tested today with Everspace 2:

Hmm, it segfaults when trying to use it with vkcube and graphs enabled.

The `graphs` option is only effective when `legacy_layout=false`.

It still just segfaults when I try something like this:
Does it work for you?

There is a bug in the config parsing when passing the graphs option via MANGOHUD_CONFIG. For now you'll have to use a config file to set the graphs option.

OK, I can see the bug report: https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/issues/997

Should work properly when set in a config file, at least that works here.

Yeah, I'm mostly using the env variable for flexibility, so I'll wait for them to fix it.
