## What it is
lsfg-vk is a Vulkan layer that hooks into Vulkan applications on Linux to generate additional frames using Lossless Scaling's frame generation algorithm. It brings the Windows-exclusive Lossless Scaling frame interpolation feature to Linux, including Steam Deck handhelds.

## Use cases
- generate extra frames in Vulkan games on Linux
- use Lossless Scaling frame generation on Steam Deck
- improve game smoothness via frame interpolation on Linux
- boost FPS in Proton/Steam games with frame generation
- configure per-game frame generation profiles
- enable frame generation in Flatpak games

## When to choose
- you game on Linux or Steam Deck and want Lossless Scaling-style frame generation
- your Vulkan game runs at low FPS and you want interpolated frames
- you want per-game profiles for frame generation on Linux

## When to avoid
- you need frame generation for non-Vulkan APIs like DirectX natively on Windows
- you don't own Lossless Scaling on Steam, which is required
- you need a plug-and-play solution without any configuration
