### Running the Steam client itself or Wine in GameMode
The Linux Steam client and Wine can be run in GameMode. GameMode will automatically disable handling key processes of Steam or Wine which may negatively affect your gaming experience. Just prepend `gamemoderun` to your Steam or Wine launching command line:
```bash
gamemoderun steam # for Steam
gamemoderun wine ./game.exe # for Wine
```
Running the whole Steam client itself in GameMode removes the need for individually adjusting the start option of each game. The automatic handling of Wine games is important for the new SteamPlay feature to run Wine games natively from the Linux Steam client.

### Others
Other apps which can integrate with GameMode include:
* [ATLauncher](https://atlauncher.com/downloads) Minecraft launcher
