Faugus Launcher for Linux

Faugus Launcher is a simple and lightweight app designed for Linux users who want to run games easily.

It works with UMU-Launcher and supports both Windows games and native Linux games.

For Windows games, it uses Proton, a compatibility tool that helps run Windows software on Linux.

You can also run Windows games directly from the .exe files.

The app includes useful tools to improve your gaming experience.

Winetricks helps you install needed game files like fonts and libraries quickly.

Winecfg allows you to adjust Windows settings for each game.

MangoHud shows an on-screen display with important info such as FPS, temperature, and CPU/GPU usage.

Feral GameMode tweaks system settings to boost game performance.

If you have controller issues, the option to disable Hidraw might help fix them.

Faugus Launcher also offers advanced features like managing game prefixes (which store game settings), creating shortcuts—including Steam shortcuts—and running Add-on apps like Cheat Engine or mods alongside your games.

You can use the lossless scaling and frame generation features to improve framerate smoothly.

The Proton Manager tool lets you download or remove different Proton builds, such as GE-Proton or Proton-EM.

Note that some features are still experimental.

Support for Wine Wayland Driver and HDR is new and might cause problems.

When using the Flatpak version, the “stop” button may not close games, and Gamescope might not work correctly.

Also, the app may not always match your system’s theme on certain desktop environments.

Overall, Faugus Launcher fits Linux users who want a safe and reliable way to play both Windows and Linux games with helpful tools to improve performance and manage settings.
