'dlss' for non-nvidia-cards on linux / steam deck (FSR3.1-workaround; open / free / legal)

also enables 'frame-generation' in current games (AMD / Intel-Chips since 2015; usually doubles framerate)

git clone https://github.com/slynobody/dlss-enabler-mod-for-linux (stable)

1. unpack the files in same folder of the main executable
2. search for 'nvngx_dlss.dll', copy it in the exe-folder
3. rename 'nvngx_dlss.dll' to '_nvngx.dll' in the exe-folder
4. add this to 'starting-options' (steam)

add (>> f.e for hogwarts legacy, steam)

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version,dxgi=n,b" gamemoderun %COMMAND% --dlss-nvapi=mock

or (>> f.e. for jedi survivor, steam)

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm=n,b" gamemoderun %COMMAND% -dlss-nvapi=mock

5. start game ('dlss' and 'frame-generation' should be useable)

want a more beta-oriented & user-friendly version of 'dlss enabler' (linux)
