From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I suspect you have installed either Lutris or Steam through flatpak.
Try installing both using the same method or install MangoHud both as a flatpak and a system package.
Also, I recommend enabling MangoHud with 'MANGOHUD=1 %command%' instead.
Yeah, was gonna say the same. It works fine for me on native steam. But flatpak steam needs flatpak mangohud. This was actually one of the reasons that I stopped using flatpak steam though. Not a problem against flatpaks or even that it didn't work. Hell it worked even during times when native steam didn't work.
However, lots of small differences like this kinda make it harder to utilize existing software and information when the software and the communities around that software don't have flatpak in mind.
This worked. My first install of mangohud was through the git hub instructions. But when I installed it through my package manager, it works in steam now. Thanks
