MangoHud 0.8.2 Brings Core Stability Fixes and New Hardware Support

MangoHud, the open-source performance overlay for Linux, recently released version 0.8.2, focusing on stability enhancements and expanded hardware support. The update addresses "Large scale fixes on OpenGL," resolving issues like missing or flickering HUDs and games failing to start with the overlay. Keybinds on Wayland also received fixes, alongside corrections for X11 crashes when the DISPLAY environment variable was unset, and multiple cases where MangoHud would crash on close. New capabilities in version 0.8.2 include support for Panfrost GPUs and Qualcomm KGSL, extending MangoHud's compatibility to more ARM-based systems. The release also blacklists all gtk-4 applications to prevent potential conflicts and removes GLEW and nlohmann dependencies. CPU MHz has been added to logging, and RAPL can now be used for AMD CPU power monitoring, providing more comprehensive performance data.
