In this video I cover how to use libstrangle to limit the framerate for a game launched on Linux.

Step 1. Installation

Install required dependencies.

For example, for Debian and Ubuntu based distributions, you can install them with this Terminal command.

sudo apt install gcc-multilibg++-multiliblibx11-devmesa-common-dev

Then download the projects repository by clicking on the download button, and extract the downloaded archive.

Next, open a Terminal window inside the extracted folder and run the following commands in sequence.

make
sudo make install

Once the process is finished, close the Terminal window.

Step 2. Using libstrangle

There are a couple of ways to use libstrangle, but mostly you run it as a start argument for a game.

For example, to limit the frame rate of game launched from within Steam to 60fps, type the following into game’s Launch Options.

strangle 60 %command%
