    Nvidia releases GeForce Now beta for Linux.

    Nvidia promised to deliver a native GeForce Now Linux app earlier this month, and it’s now releasing a beta today. The native Linux app is a highly requested feature for GeForce Now, especially as subscribers have had to rely on unofficial apps or browser tweaks to get access to the service.

    The beta is available for Ubuntu 24.04 and newer starting today, and Nvidia will expand support to additional Linux distributions soon.
