Decky Loader Swiss Army knife group add-ons in your left bar in game mode with customizable applications for easy access, system changes, and game tweaks.
I hope this has helped someone in the community. If anyone has any more suggestions of tools or useful sites to add please add them below.
Hopefully we can get this community going!
EDIT: This is intended to be a living post. I will try to update when I can.
I'd like to take advantage of the fact that we do not have that one extremely rude dude from Reddit freaking out about Cryoutilities to mention something:
As rude and obnoxious as he were, we should actually stop recommending this tool to users. It doesn't bring any benefits, it does add a lot of extra storage pressure on the 64 eMMC units, and it does cause issues with random GPU crashes on a growing list of games.
I hope we don't acquire them here too. I think CryoUtils is amazing. CryoByte33's videos on YouTube are awesome for computer science, he goes into real depth on why the changes work.
Maybe I'm a bit too optimistic, but I do believe we will see less rude behavior on Lemmy, the community here seems united by the fact we do not have large numbers, we are not centralized, and we want to see this grow.
I felt I was missing out on Cryo a bit because it seemed to have been a slight significant upgrade, and hoping that if so, it'd just get implemented (or whatever it does) by Valve.
Is there a detailed fps/memory comparison that points out the disadvantages?
I posted for CryoUtilities 2.0 from Cryobyte33 on YouTube for that. In the video he goes over the benefits of the tool and has bench marks where he uses specific game performance using and not using the tool. I hope this helps! Cryobyte33 has great videos and goes very in depth--even breaking it down Barney style.
If anyone is interested in an open source replacement for Steam's gamepad UI, there is OpenGamepadUI, which I am the author of. It features an overlay, gamepad mappings, and plugin architecture:
