Nvidia has introduced a full GeForce Now app for Linux, expanding opportunities for gamers on this platform. Currently available for Ubuntu 24.04 and later, this app is still in beta, but it promises a range of features that enhance the gaming experience.
The new desktop application supports streaming up to 5K resolution at 120 frames per second, or 360 frames per second at Full HD. This removes the typical hardware limitations faced on Linux, particularly with compatibility issues often associated with online games and anti-cheat systems, for example, games like Fortnite. Instead, gamers can enjoy what Nvidia refers to as “the full GeForce Now experience,” which depends primarily on the quality of their internet connection rather than their specific hardware setup.
This release is seen as a significant step forward for Linux gamers. As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, platforms like SteamOS are rapidly gaining traction, increasing the number of compatible titles for Linux users. Nvidia’s decision to offer a fully functional app is expected to bolster the appeal of cloud gaming in this community.
While the new app currently targets Ubuntu, interest has emerged in its potential compatibility with other Linux distributions. The continuous development in the Linux gaming market gives players reasons for optimism, especially with major platforms like GOG hinting at future enhancements and increased support for Linux titles in 2026.
With such advancements, Nvidia’s GeForce Now is not only a strong player in the cloud gaming sector but is set to become even more integral to the gaming experience for Linux users.
