CryoUtilities is a Go-based utility with a GUI that tunes performance and manages storage on the Steam Deck, including swap resizing, kernel memory parameter tuning, VRAM checks, and game data cleanup. It also works on other Linux distros on a best-effort basis.
Use cases
- improve gaming performance on steam deck
- resize swap file on steam deck
- clean up game data from uninstalled games
- tune kernel memory parameters like hugepages and swappiness
- check and configure UMA frame buffer VRAM size
- revert steam deck settings to stock defaults
When to choose
- you own a Steam Deck and want one-click recommended performance tweaks
- you need to safely resize swap or recover from a failed swap resize
- you want to reclaim storage by deleting data of uninstalled games
When to avoid
- you use a non-Steam Deck Linux distro and need full feature support
- your system uses a swap partition instead of a swap file
- you need the Game Data or VRAM tabs outside SteamOS
