Nvidia has also set up a dedicated Flatpak repo, making installation and updates easier than the previous .bin file method. Cloud-side improvements to DLSS Frame Generation aim to make streamed gameplay feel more responsive at 60 and 120fps across all platforms. Nvidia GPU users need an Xorg session to run the app, which is not possible on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS's standard GNOME desktop. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I install GeForce NOW on Linux using Flatpak? Add Nvidia's dedicated Flatpak repo with 'flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists GeForceNOW https://international.download.nvidia.com/GFNLinux/flatpak/geforcenow.flatpakrepo', then install with 'flatpak install --user GeForceNOW com.nvidia.geforcenow'. This replaces the older method of downloading and running an executable .bin file from Nvidia's website. _daily.dev surfaces setup guides like this for developers tracking Linux gaming and Flatpak tooling._ ### Is the GeForce NOW Linux app still in beta? No, GeForce NOW's native Linux app has exited beta after seven months of testing, with official support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and later. Nvidia reports performance, stability, and polish improvements gained from community feedback during the beta period. _daily.dev helps developers stay current on Linux app releases like this one._ ### Why can't I run GeForce NOW on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with an Nvidia GPU? Nvidia GPU users are advised to log into an Xorg session to run the GeForce NOW Linux app, but this is not possible on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS using the standard GNOME desktop, since it defaults to Wayland without an Xorg option in that configuration. _daily.dev keeps Linux desktop users informed about compatibility gotchas like this before they upgrade._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Nvidia’s GeForce Now is getting native Linux and Fire TV apps](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-s-geforce-now-is-getting-native-linux-and-fire-tv-apps-ciw21yemz) · The Verge · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [I Spent Time With GeForce NOW to See If It's Gameable on Linux](https://daily.dev/posts/i-spent-time-with-geforce-now-to-see-if-it-s-gameable-on-linux-iizdsxfyn) · It's Foss · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#gaming](https://daily.dev/tags/gaming), [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia), [#ubuntu](https://daily.dev/tags/ubuntu) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/geforce-now-s-linux-app-drops-its-beta-tag-gets-flatpak-repo-gwybadf3d) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"GeForce NOW’s Linux app drops its beta tag, gets Flatpak repo","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/geforce-now-s-linux-app-drops-its-beta-tag-gets-flatpak-repo-gwybadf3d","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/geforce-now-s-linux-app-drops-its-beta-tag-gets-flatpak-repo-gwybadf3d"},"datePublished":"2026-08-13T15:56:43.168Z","dateModified":"2026-08-13T15:57:33.171Z","description":"GeForce NOW's native Linux app has officially exited beta after seven months of testing, now with official support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and later.
