Has anyone found a good tool to list FPS in games? I know the steam overlay does it, but not all games are steam games.

Quick example: started playing Cyberpunk again, even added it as a non-steam game in steam, but the overlay isn't there. I would really just like a tool that adds such an overlay for any game. What is out there?

This is perfect thank you!

Since I had to do some troubleshooting to get it working, I'll list what I had to do here:

I have Mint 22.1 and Heroic Launcher installed as a flatpak. Because of this, I could not install Mangohud from apt as Heroic could not find it in $PATH. Instead I had to install the Mangohud flatpak flatpak install Mangohud. I had to specifically choose the v23.08 branch when running that command, as the v24.08 branch did not work with heroic. After that, I went to the game configuration in Heroic and enabled Mangohud and all was good. :)
