    I read the headline and made a bad assumption that would have been corrected if I read the article.

    That’s awesome! I never installed this crap on Windows, now I get to skip installing it on Linux. Keep up the good work.

    Um yay, I guess. I’m always for more options. And maybe there is a market out there for the “game from the cloud” idea. Personally though, I’d rather just play a game on the Steam Deck directly. Or, if that’s somehow not an option, stream the game from my own PC to my TV via SteamLink. In no world do I want to pay for a subscription to play games on a device where I can just play that game locally.

      If you have the ability to play every game you’d want, then yeah you likely have no need for this. But I’ve used GeForce Now to either play games on low-spec PCs or for a period of time when I only had access to a MacBook. Also, not every game will run on Linux (or if it does it may not perform quite as well), so that’s another potential use case.

    I was down in Texas for Dreamhack last week at the LAN. On the drive back, my car passenger was able to take my shitty laptop, connect to his phone hotspot, and he used the GeForce streaming service to play a steam game for a good 4+ hours.

    Fuck Nvidia, but the service is okay in a pinch. I will never use it, but I see the appeal for people that don’t have gaming computers.
