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

There's a 'gamemode' package (arch wiki) but it's more for niceness and gpu governor.

My proposal: figure out how you can disable effects via cli on KDE and create a little script.

Yeah I have gamemode and use it.

But I see.
