Struggling to Get NVIDIA GeForce Now Working on Linux

Asked By TechieTurtle42 On

I've been trying to run NVIDIA GeForce Now on my Linux system, but I keep hitting a wall. Even though there's a flatpak version, it only supports 60 fps. I've installed Wine and Bottles along with all the necessary dependencies, but the installation consistently fails with the message "Nvidia installer failed." It's gotten so frustrating that I'm considering switching back to Windows, but I really don't want to go back to being dependent on Microsoft. I'm just feeling a bit lost here.

You might want to check out the web app option for GeForce Now. Just go to play.geforcenow.com in Chrome or Edge. You could also try enabling hardware acceleration in the browser by tweaking some flags (chrome://flags/#enable-hardware-accelerated-video-decode). There's also a snap package if that helps.

I hear you about wanting to switch back to Windows, but if you’re still using Wine and Bottles, it sounds like you’re still juggling with some Windows programs. Just a heads up, some apps can be pretty finicky about compatibility.

Hey! It's really important to share your distro and some hardware details when asking for help. It's frustrating when things don’t work as expected! Have you tried posting those details with your error message? It could help others assist you better.
