gamemode-auto-enable

A small daemon that automatically enables GameMode when a game is running. Currently supports games launched through Steam.

Installation

On flake-enabled NixOS systems

Add this flake to your system's flake.nix inputs:

{
  inputs = {
    # Other inputs...
    gamemode-auto-enable.url = "github:ekisu/gamemode-auto-enable";
  };
}

Then, in your nixosConfiguration, add the module to your modules list and enable the service:

{
  # ...
  modules = [
    # Other modules...
    gamemode-auto-enable.nixosModules.default,
    {
      services.gamemode-auto-enable.enable = true;
    }
  ];
  # ...
}

On other systems

First, clone the repository and build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/ekisu/gamemode-auto-enable.git
cd gamemode-auto-enable
make

Then, install the binary and the SystemD service:

sudo make install

Finally, enable the user service:

systemctl --user enable --now gamemode-auto-enable.service
