This is actually pretty huge because it means fortnite, valorant and all those esports games with kernel-level anticheat will be playable* on the steam deck and subsequently linux.
*I don't care how awful the service may be if it helps with mainstream linux adoption.
You're absolutely right. GeForce Now IMO is a shitty service and I wouldn't use it, but I'm glad it's available for those that want to play R6Siege, Valorant, Fortnite etc.
But why?
For games that the deck struggles to run?
AFAIK the Steam Deck doesn’t have NVIDIA hardware in it, so I don’t see how it would help.
Edit: GeForce NOW is a cloud game streaming service and doesn’t require any NVIDIA hardware.
@DarkDarkHouse @Robin Geforce now is for streaming games running in the "cloud", not for configuring a local GPU.
You might be thinking of GeForce Experience.
