    Isn’t “Geforce Now” the background service that you have to sign into? I’m glad that Nvidia is taking Linux seriously, but this was never useful on Windows. (for me)

    I suppose some Linux users may find it useful, and having a choice is always better. But this is the kind of software I don’t miss since I switched.

      I don’t know about any background services; it’s their cloud gaming service. It would be a benefit for the people who want to switch to Linux but have a game or two they want to play that can’t be run on Linux, because of things like kernel level anti-cheat or whatnot.

        I think it’s also a great option for games that don’t run well on the steam deck due to lacking performance.
