Hi guys, looking for some help in making mangohud (flatpak) work on steam (flatpak). Whenever I put mangohud %command%, the game just would not launch. And on the terminal it just says /bin/sh: line 1: mangohud: command not found. I’ve already created the mangohud config file under ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/config/MangoHud/ but it seems that nothing is working.

I’ve installed the flatpak via:

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud

Also ran the commands:

flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/MangoHud:ro

flatpak override --user --env=MANGOHUD=1 com.valvesoftware.Steam

I’ve even manually added via flatseal the xdg-config/MangoHud:ro and its still not working.

I’ve also tried running:

flatpak run org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud vkcube (and glxgear as well, both not working) It just shows a “bwrap: execvp /bin/sh: No such file or directory”

It seems that even though its installed, mangohud is actually missing in flatpak? Or am I missing some steps?
