Hi, Joel, Felix,

I prepared a new version 0.8.2-rc1, maybe this one will fix this regression.
I do not use Nvidia GPU, so I can't check it myself and I do not have
upload rights,
so I can't make upload to unstable without sponsor. In the meantime you can
try deb from
Salsa CI artifacts:
https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/mangohud/-/jobs/8576330/artifacts/browse/debian/output/

I am not feeling very optimistic about providing a contrib version, instead
it would be better if
upstream could implement nvml without including non-free headers. For
example how nvtop does it.
I can try to contact upstream myself, but I feel it would be better from
someone who has interest in this (has Nvidia GPU)
