Linux wrapper tool for use with the Steam client for custom launch options and 3rd party programs
About steamtinkerlaunch
SteamTinkerLaunch is a Linux wrapper tool for the Steam client. It provides a graphical way to configure game tools such as GameScope, MangoHud and modding tools, and to set custom launch options and third-party programs for each game. It supports games that run through Proton and native Linux games, and it works on both X11 and Wayland.
Some features may not work with Flatpak Steam. ReShade support applies only to Proton and Wine games, not native Linux games. Installing custom Proton and Wine releases requires jq. Some Hedge Mod Manager workarounds may need manual steps, depending on the game. The project is open source. Its pricing is unknown.
