Generic-Launch-Scripts

This repository contains a collection of generic launch scripts designed to simplify running applications with specific configurations.

Scripts

sarekrun:
- Applies the Proton-Sarek agg profile settings to the specified program. This allows you to use this settings outside of the Proton-Sarek, without manual environment variable configuration.
softwarerun:
- Forces the specified program to run in software rendering mode.
- Note: You may need to modify the softwarerun file in case the default target for VK_ICD_FILENAMES is not the desired one, or it uses an incorrect path. The default path and target should work for most installations.
glthread:
- Enables OpenGL thread optimizations for the selected program, might increase or decrease the fps.
skthrun:
- Just like sarekrun, but with OpenGL thread optimizations, might increase or decrease the fps.

Download the scripts.
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the scripts.
Copy the scripts to /usr/local/bin using the following command:
```
sudo cp sarekrun softwarerun glthread skthrun /usr/local/bin/
```
- Using /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin is recommended for locally installed executables to prevent potential conflicts with system-managed files.

Direct Execution Examples:

sarekrun program_name
glthread program_name
softwarerun program_name
sarekrun glthread softwarerun program_name
skthrun program_name

Replace program_name with the actual name or path of the program you want to run.

Launchers (Steam, Lutris, etc.) Examples:

In the launch parameters on the game that you want to launch in your launcher, add:
```
sarekrun
glthread
softwarerun
sarekrun glthread softwarerun
skthrun
```
- On Steam remember to add at the end %command%.

Feel free to contribute improvements or new generic launch scripts to this repository.
