Add an option to automatically trigger Feral's gamemode when launching a game through steam
it's possible to add gamemoderun to the launch params of a game but it'd be really useful if steam could add an option to automatically do this when launching a game just like lutris, you could have an overall on/off setting plus an individual one per game if for some reason you wanted to turn it off for just a specific game

Yes please, I actually came here looking for this exact functionality. I was suprised to find that exactly my issue was right on the top :P

I think a global launch command in the Steam Settings that just applies to every game would be very nice. The Launch command in the game properties could be used as an override if set :)

Especially since Ubuntu will include Gamemode by default in 20.04 :)

gamemode itself does offer a whitelist of executables which should trigger it automatically once ran, but I can see how that would be just about as troublesome to maintain as adding gamemode to each game's run parameters... (unless someone made a list of all game executables for steam games which can just be copy-pasted into the whitelist)

steam should definitely have some way to set global parameters in the settings... somewhat like that global python script which works for all proton games, but working for native games too
