Nvidia GeForce Now is officially on Linux, and after testing it I'm equal parts impressed and optimistic for the future of non-Windows gaming

GeForce Now running on Ubuntu Linux.

Linux has not traditionally been the home for gaming, but ever since SteamOS and Proton, it's drastically improved as a gaming platform. It still hasn't had quite the breadth of game support as Windows, though, and it's never had native client support for Nvidia GeForce Now (GFN) game streaming—until now, that is, as GFN has officially come to Linux. In beta, at least.

Before now, you'd have to either access it via the limited browser version, or use third-party apps, such as GeForce Infinity, but a native Linux client will unlock higher resolutions up to 5K, and higher frame rates, too.
