GeForce NOW announces support for Steam Deck, Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest and Pico mixed-reality devices; plus 'DOOM: The Dark Ages' and 'Avowed' are coming to the cloud.
Yes but this is the streaming software service not the tool to optimise the local Nvidia GPU. Steam Deck has an AMD GPU.
This is purely about their cloud streaming service having a native app.
You can already use GeForce Now cloud gaming on Linux if you want. There is an unofficial electron app, or you can use Wine to run it. It can also run in a browser with some tweaks (to pretend you’re running a supported OS).
But a native app makes sense for steam deck and is a good thing for Linux. Hopefully it is made widely available for Linux in the same way their proprietary drivers are now relatively easy to install on most big distros.
