Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

The only reason I have a Windows PC is because GeForce Now doesn't have a 4K client in anything but Windows.

fixing windows shit is a source of revenue here, so i have a few to keep up-to-date.. but most everything i use (windows or linux) has been cobbled-together from other people's junk and the recycle bin.

As a grey beard IT guy, I approve of this practice.

I assume you've looked into this, but sharing it just in case.

I'd also suggest just trying to run the Windows client under Proton as an alternative.

I'll try the client under Wine. The issue with GeForce Now under Linux, whether it is with the client or Chrome, is that resolution is capped at 1080p/60.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
