How to Use GLXOSD With GOG Games
PublicNuisance Sep 29, 2017
How do I use GLXOSD with GOG games ? There's a few games that Steam doesn't want to let me add or run and therefore I can't use Steam's FPS counter. I seem to understand I have to launch the game from Terminal using something like "GLXOSD insertgame" but am unsure of the exact syntax. Can anybody help ?

yes its glxosd glxgears

for example.

havent used it quite some time but back in the days there were issues when running 32bit games on 64bit system, so you needed to install 32bit glxosd and use different command to start it from the 32bit location.

heres some documentation: https://glxosd.nickguletskii.com/docs/use/

You don't need it if you use Mesa. You can use built in GALLIUM_HUD.
