About Goverlay
Goverlay is a modern Qt6 GUI application for Linux gamers that puts powerful performance and visual tools behind an easy-to-use interface. It configures MangoHud, vkBasalt, vkSumi, OptiScaler, and Proton environment tweaks through a visual, card-based layout — generating the config files and launch commands you drop into Steam or Lutris.
