That's exciting news for Linux users eager to access GeForce NOW! While cloud gaming's growing popularity is undeniable, I wonder if relying so heavily on streaming platforms might inadvertently discourage investment in local hardware and optimizations for native Linux gaming. It's a complex issue, and perhaps this ease of access can mask some underlying problems. |

Damn shame they only support Ubuntu. That's not the Linux way. Make the darn client universal.
Of course people are already using GeForce Now on Linux, just through less optimal clients.
For me, there's just one (or two) use cases for this - first, to move to Linux and still be able to play online games with anticheat. Trying to play Destiny 2 on Linux will cop you a big fat ban right now. Most other games can run locally.
The other pretty cool use case is my phone + an external screen + a controller or keyb/mouse. Now you can play full on AAA PC games while on the road, off your mobile phone as long as it has a video out. |

| I've been waiting for GeForce NOW on Linux for ages. Finally, I can ditch dual-booting just to play certain games. Downloading the beta right now - thanks for sharing this, I really appreciate it! Geometry Dash |
