NO, YOU CAN'T. (just kidding.)
Serious now: if I got it right, this game bar is an overlay showing FPS, CPU/GPU usage, screenshots/recording, stuff like this. It doesn't look too hard to implement in Linux, and apparently there's a GNOME extension in the makes for that. (If it's compatible with Cinnamon I'll be a happy camper. I'd rather not touch GNOME directly with a 3m pole, but the tools for GNOME are sometimes OK.)
Correct! And I appreciate the recommendation. I'm an XFCE4 man (sorry. It is just what I've been using for decades) and I think I could probably get that GNOME library running on that environment.
