Nvidia is reportedly preparing to launch native support for its GeForce Now cloud gaming service on Linux operating systems later in 2026. This move aims to eliminate the need for workarounds currently used by Linux users, including those on Steam Deck. The announcement comes amid speculation and a separate controversy over a new playtime cap.
Building on Nvidia's CES 2026 launch of native GeForce Now apps for Linux (Ubuntu 24.04+) and Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd gen)—enabling up to 4K ray-traced or 5K/120 FPS cloud gaming—the service now boasts over 25 million members. This expansion targets budget hardware and open-source users, sparking excitement and some compatibility concerns.

The move expands high-performance PC gaming to open-source systems and living rooms, building on recent Xbox Game Pass integration for Fire TV and specialized controller support.
