Open-Source Fully Reverse-Engineered GeForce NOW Client Named OpenNOW

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 12:44

Hi, I’m Zortos, the developer of OpenNOW.

I built OpenNOW, a fully reverse-engineered open-source GeForce NOW client. It is not a wrapper around the official client.
it directly implements the required protocols and streaming logic.

GitHub: https://github.com/OpenCloudGaming/OpenNOW

The project originally started in Rust with Tauri, but due to compatibility and long-term maintainability concerns, I migrated it to Electron (Node.js + React + TypeScript) to ensure better cross-platform support and easier development.

OpenNOW supports most of the features of the official client, with more improvements planned. It includes WebRTC streaming (H.264 / H265 / AV1), controller and input support, bitrate controls, stats overlay, region selection, session handling, and more.

There is no telemetry, no tracking, and no background data collection. The goal is to provide a transparent, privacy-respecting alternative to the official GeForce NOW client, especially for Linux users.

My goal is to make OpenNOW run well on lightweight, low-power devices with integrated chips such as single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi so cloud gaming is accessible even on minimal hardware.

Feedback and contributors are welcome.

The Sims 2000 on Arch via Proton, 1280x960 4:3, running in Enlightenment E16

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 12:22

The Sims Complete Collection running on an Arch-based distro using Wine 11.1 with dgVoodoo for compatibility, managed through Lutris.
4:3 at 1280x960 on a 1080p display.
Running inside Enlightenment E16 for the early 2000s feel.
No major tweaks beyond that.

forgot to double check and put proton in the title.

Help fixing screen tearing and other artifacts on frame limiting via MangoHUD with FG on (The Witcher 3)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 12:03

This is regarding The Witcher 3 on steam.

As the title mentions, if I limit the FPS by using MangoHUD (via Launch options) while Frame Gen is enabled in game, I face several artifacts (as evident in the video)

Launch options: MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps_limit=72","fps_limit_method=early","VSync=3" mangohud PROTON_LOG=1 %command% --launcher-skip

Proton version: proton-cachyos-10.0-20260207

I have not faced this on other steam games.

Can be "fixed" by

  1. Disabling FG or
  2. Not setting a Frame limit or
  3. Setting the frame limit close to the avg fps

On Windows I play the game with max fps set to 75 (Via NVIDIA control panel) with FG enabled and have not faced any issues.

PS: I do run several mods (including texture packs and visual mods)

I wanted to know if there is a definitive fix to this, until then, I play it with fps capped at 90 (or boot into windows).

Is anyone else having trouble running CoD Plutonium on bazzite?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 12:00

For the past couple of days I've been trying play CoD Black Ops 1 through the Plutonium launcher and I keep experiencing issues related to audio, like missing sfx in the form of gunshots, footsteps, and even menu ques.

I've tried adding as a non-steam game. Going through Lutris. Downloading Xact and other recommended windows components. Trying different Protons versions. But nothing I do works.

What's more odd though, is the base game, without plutonium, doesn't have any of these issues. And when I booted into windows (I dual boot), It work there no problem. So I'm 90% sure it's some sort of conflict between OS and the launcher itself, but i don't know what else to try.

Does anyone gave any advice? or should I just cut my loses?

FYI: I use a 5950X, Rx 6800, and 32gs of ram. If that helps.

My Windows-Styled Game, Running Natively on Linux, Now Has a Demo!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 08:58

The game is Malware Tycoon on Steam if anyone's interested. It's been an interesting journey to say the least, and the best part are those surprise Windows-exclusive bugs I had to fix... needless to say, I got VMM/QEMU all set up so those never slip by again. Happy to say the game is (hopefully) bug-free no matter what OS you run it on!

Would love to hear thoughts!
