Comment on Steam Deck is getting official Nvidia GeForce Now support, with HDR

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.

  The app announced in the news post will be a native app, not just 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 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.
