GeForce NOW\u2019s native Linux application has transitioned out of beta after a seven-month testing phase, now officially supporting Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and newer versions.

Users can experience GeForce RTX-class performance, including features like ray tracing and DLSS, without needing expensive hardware.<\/p>\n
Nvidia celebrated this milestone by announcing the app’s improvements regarding performance, stability, and user experience, largely influenced by community feedback during the beta.
