Automatically turn off Plasma Desktop effects when launching a Steam game? (pawb.social)

Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is... Y'know. A thing.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate it, like game opens -> they turn off, game process ends -> they turn back on

I was under the impression this was done automatically when in full-screen, are you sure this isn't the case?

It might? I don't use exclusive fullscreen ever. :P I'm too ADHD for that. I always have chat windows on my second screen and am constantly tabbing out on load screen and shit.

Just use Wayland, then you don't have to care about this

Unfortunately Wayland breaks Inkscape and GIMP and even caused Firefox to be unstable for me.

Thanks but no thanks?

Maybe in 5 years. Let it stay in the oven for a bit longer.
