This company has singlehandedly put the world’s economies in danger and folks still buy their shit. Incredible.
What’s the alternative? AMD is doing the same exact thing, their CEO is even related to Nvidias CEO. That only leaves Intel GPUs, which have a pretty shitty Linux driver, and Intel is not exactly an angel either
True. Nvidia is not the problem, the system is. If it wasn’t nvidia, it would be any other company.
Wait, a monthly gaming cap?
Piss right off with that garbage.
Boooooooooooooooo!
I hope they lose a ton of money. Their greed resulting in this push for subscription based models makes me immune to buying anything from them ever again.
nvidia shat on Linux for decades, always a piece of shit company, that lucked into the current state of economy.
Every flag is pure red, haven’t bought anything from them ever, and won’t ever buy any streaming service from anyone.
Please do not support this race to the bottom. The bottom will hurt us all.
These motherslapping sons of goats, that refused to support open drivers for their paying Linux customers will now generously allow said customers to rent the gaming experience instead? How nice of them.
Unofficially works now.
WAYLAND_DISPLAY="" flatpak run com.nvidia.geforcenow.Isnt there just a bunch of ads in that app anyway? Does it have any features besides installing drivers?
It’s their cloud streaming platform. I prefer to use Sunshine/Moonlight but there’s a case for people with weak hardware and those that aren’t technically inclined. Partly it helps with a problem that Nvidia itself created (siphoning up silicon for AI so upgrades become too expensive).
Jack up prices so people cant buy video cards anymore.
“Generously” make their overpriced, heavily restricted, nickel-and-dimed streaming platform available on functionally everything.
as end users age out of cards, the only options they’ll have left is to use GeForce Now or not play at all.
A long term plan to take your PC from ownership to subscription model.
Or you know, buy an AMD card…
Someone missed the news about AMD planning on increasing prices monthly all this year.
Or Intel, though i dunno how good their cards work on Linux
Not amazing, and Intel are currently cutting costs left and right (including abandoning parts of their Linux work). Hopefully they at least keep some developers working on their drivers.
Pretty awful, from what I’ve heard, and PCIe passthrough into VMs is a nightmare for Intel cards as well. Again, no experience myself, but from everything I’ve read it appears to go AMD > NVIDIA >> Intel as far as Linux support for dGPUs is concerned.
According to Linus Tech Tips vs. Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux uses Intel graphics card.
