About GOverlay
GOverlay is a graphical front end for setting up Linux gaming applications such as the MangoHud performance overlay and the vkBasalt post-processing layer. Instead of editing their configuration files by hand, you choose options in a window and save them.
The repository includes AppImage and Flatpak packaging. It suits Linux players who want an FPS counter, hardware readouts or visual filters in games without learning each tool's config syntax.
