How to setup official GeforceNow app on Linux
Raw
setup-geforcenow-linux.md

If you want to setup the official GeforceNow app on Linux for gaming, use:

  • flatpak install -y --user flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk//24.08 org.freedesktop.Platform//24.08
  • flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists GeForceNOW https://international.download.nvidia.com/GFNLinux/flatpak/geforcenow.flatpakrepo
  • flatpak install -y --user GeForceNOW com.nvidia.geforcenow
  • flatpak run com.nvidia.geforcenow
  • If you are on Wayland and the Window doesn't open: flatpak override --user --nosocket=wayland com.nvidia.geforcenow, then launch again.

Alternatively:

Download https://international.download.nvidia.com/GFNLinux/GeForceNOWSetup.bin

  • chmod +x GeForceNOWSetup.bin
  • ./GeForceNOWSetup.bin

Note: if you have the Xbox Gamepass, you can link it to your GeforceNow account and play Xbox games on Linux. :)

Happy #gaming!
