US EditionNvidia Just Gave Gamers Another Reason to Switch to Linux — a Shiny New GeForce Now App
Nvidia's beta app supports Ubuntu 24.04+ and Flatpak for other Linux distros, offering free and paid tiers with up to 5K resolution at 120 FPS, requiring fast internet.
- Following its CES announcement earlier this year, Nvidia released a beta native GeForce Now Linux app distributed as a 12MB.bin that officially supports Ubuntu 24.04 or later and Flatpak installation.
- After announcing a native client at CES earlier this year, Nvidia released a beta as Linux users had relied on workarounds like the Steam Deck version on Linux-based SteamOS.
- A support page warns the beta omits HDR, racing wheels, flight controls, and video recording, while a promotional clip claims support up to 5K at 120 fps.
- Linux gamers need a fast internet connection, and Nvidia's free tier limits sessions to one hour, while paid plans from $9.99 to $19.99 offer better performance.
- The launch positions GeForce Now to grow on non-Windows platforms, as the native Linux beta could widen access to large-game libraries and streaming may replace buying pricey GPUs amid the memory shortage.
