![]() ![]() There's been worse examples to bring up like the time a developer on the faker.js and colors.js projects decided to stop doing it, and ended up pushing out a malicious update screwing over everyone using it. I could keep on naming various important Linux gaming projects for hours. It only just recently expanded to handle games from other sources. We also have other great projects like the Heroic Games Launcher, which has become very popular since the Steam Deck release to help people manage GOG and Epic Games Store on Linux desktop and Steam Deck. Just ignore the frame timing spike, Dying Light 2 does not like its photo to be taken, it's a bit camera shy. That's MangoHud in the bottom right corner. Valve do sponsor the development on it but imagine if they didn't or just stopped (there's also direct support links on their GitHub). MangoHud is even used on the Steam Deck, it's the performance overlay. Makes me think about projects like MangoHud for Linux, the awesome way to get a Vulkan and OpenGL overlay on top of games that lets you monitor things like FPS, temperatures, system load, frame timings, benchmarking and more. So if there's something you're using that you want to keep using, and see it keep working, perhaps it's a good time to throw some direct support behind it? Regardless of what's really happening it's a stark reminder that a lot of things we use directly and probably take for granted, or things other bigger projects use, are often developed and supported by single people (or only a few people). MSI are claiming "product marketing & accounting team are dealing with this problem now" and mentioned the war was causing payment issues. On the guru3D forum, the developer on Afterburner noted "MSI afterburner project is probably dead" and later elaborated "War and politics are the reasons" (Ukraine and Russia) and mentioned "the project is semi abandoned by company during quite a long time already" with MSI apparently not "performing their obligations under Afterburner license agreement" with the developer not being paid for their work. While this first bit isn't Linux related, stick with it a moment. No this isn't me asking you to support my Patreon or anything. We hope that this article has been helpful and that you can now monitor your GPU temperature with ease.In light of some recent news surrounding the MSI Afterburner software, it's another reminder that it's quite important for people to directly support projects they use and enjoy. By monitoring the temperature of your GPU, you can ensure that it doesn’t overheat and cause performance issues or damage to the hardware. In this article, we explained how to get GPU temperature on both Windows and Linux operating systems.
