Transcript

Linux gamers, do not let this fool you. They are making it sound like that Nvidia and your favorite games now have native support on Linux. That couldn't be further from the truth, because Nvidia GeForce Now is a cloud service, not a local service. You're basically gaming on someone else's hardware instead of your own. So, do not let this fool you. Proton is still the way to play your favorite games on Linux. Natively, I mean.
