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 fellow grey beard, recycling old stuff is a great way to keep a home lab going. I took home a 4 year old micro desktop a few weeks ago and it has been great for a docker host.

      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.
