Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install the Nvidia GeForce Now client on Linux:

Step 1: Install Wine

Wine is a compatibility layer that allows Windows applications to run on Linux. Install Wine on your Linux system by running the following commands in the terminal:

Once logged in, you can start using Nvidia GeForce Now to play your favorite games on Linux.

While this method allows you to install and use the Nvidia GeForce Now client on Linux, it is worth noting that performance may vary compared to using the service on a Windows system. Additionally, Nvidia does not officially support this setup, so there may be compatibility issues and limitations.
