The default MangoHud package in the repos is a little broken due to the lack of Nvidia detection, only working on open source GPUs. As a result, I looked further and realized it was due to a lack of libraries, and with some help I realized these libs were missing on the original .run installer that is the basis of the Nvidia package. So I looked at how Arch did things and made a package that takes the source for the nvidia-settings tool, compiles it, and then takes its library dev files for GPU detection and makes them into a package. I then updated MangoHud to depend on the package, that way it'll support Nvidia cards finally and people won't need to install a third party version from Flatpak or their repo.
