Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is… Y’know. A thing.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate it, like game opens -> they turn off, game process ends -> they turn back on

    I was under the impression this was done automatically when in full-screen, are you sure this isn’t the case?

      It might? I don’t use exclusive fullscreen ever. :P I’m too ADHD for that. I always have chat windows on my second screen and am constantly tabbing out on load screen and shit.

      Yes, this happens automatically for me when I launch games. I don’t remember doing anything special to set it up (Kubuntu with nVidia drivers on X11). I do mostly game in true full screen though, not “full screened window”

      Proton used to disable compositing back in version 5 or 6, then one (minor) update messed it up. iirc it was reported to the issue tracker but still hasn’t been fixed. proton-ge still keeps the compositor disabled.
