GeForce Now is a game streaming service. It was previously possible to use it on deck, but Nvidia is making it much easier to install and get set up. They also recently improved gamepad navigation of their service.

To install, go to their install page in desktop mode and scroll down to the steam deck option. Download and run the script.

The advantage of streaming services like this is getting great performance on lower power devices, and minimal battery usage.

Fuck Nvidia

Instead of improving their shitty cloud subscription BS, they should improve their drivers or just fully open source them so the community can work on it ffs

I agree, but I'm sure there are completely different teams for each and I appreciate this team choosing to support Linux more.
