BlishHUD is a 3rd party addon for GW2 that displays additional game information. It is quite popular but unfortunately it also was really hard to get running on Linux because on Windows it runs as a transparent window on top of the game. There are solutions for kwin that workaround that by using a shader but that lead to ugly artifacts around the BlishHUD windows. I recently found a project called external-dx11-overlay while searching for a better solution. It runs BlishHUD with a dx11 render hook inside of the game and from my testing so far it seems flawless.
It really is amazing to have. Was the main reason i finally switched from windows, when i heard its usable. Really did not want to go back to vanilla gw2 after getting used to Pathing.
Can recommend using it with steam. Had less problems getting it to run that way.
