## What it is
Goverlay is a Qt6 graphical application for configuring Linux gaming performance and overlay tools such as MangoHud, vkBasalt, vkSumi, and OptiScaler. It generates config files and launch commands for Steam or Lutris through a visual card-based interface, with a built-in Vulkan preview for real-time tuning.

## Use cases
- configure mangohud overlay settings with a gui
- set up vkbasalt post-processing effects for linux games
- enable dlss or fsr frame generation per game
- create proton environment tweaks for steam games
- preview overlay and shader settings before launching a game
- generate launch options for lutris games

## When to choose
- you game on Linux and want to tune MangoHud or vkBasalt without hand-editing config files
- you want a visual way to manage per-game performance overlays and upscaling settings
- you prefer a GUI over writing MangoHud/vkBasalt configuration syntax

## When to avoid
- you need headless or scripted configuration of MangoHud on servers
- you game on Windows or macOS since Goverlay is Linux-only
- you only need a simple FPS counter and are fine with MangoHud's default config
