Does this mean geforce now on Linux
flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chrome --file-forwarding com.google.Chrome @@u @@ --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 --app=https://play.geforcenow.com
It’s just an icon for the Flatpak version of Google Chrome opening play.geforcenow.com
Hardly a game changer.
That’s the current setup for playing Geforce Now on steam deck/linux. The app announced in the news post will be a native app, not just kiosk chrome wrapper. They also mentioned it will support HDR which currently isn’t possible with the kiosk chrome wrapper.

So it’ll be CEF opening play.geforcenow.com
Why would it not be some way to launch the website? As long as it’s x86-64 code, it’s technically native.
Why cant they port the thing and why not use electron like windows and mac app
why not use electron like windows and mac app
I bet that’s what they’ll be doing for the announced “native” app, so Chrome a stop-gap for the beta and the final release will have an integrated web renderer but the actual game delivery by still just opening the website.
So no idea what the fuss is about.

Only mentions Steam Deck tho (But it’s a Linux device so who knows some aur stranger might make it for Linux Desktop)

Hmm fair, I just woke up when I commented haha. Technically I’m right though :p
Anyways I don’t see a reason why running this on another arch based distro wouldn’t work.
